Yesterday was my first weekday off since late March. I didn't tell my mom I was off, but she saw my car in the parking lot when she was picking up Sister #1. She was taking her to IHOP and gave me a call. She asked if I was going to work, I said nope, she asked if I wanted to come along, her treat. I said yup. So I got a good meal. Big omelet with all the sides. Yummers.

Last night's casino party was awesome. I had an out-of-it drunk playing, so I was doing his cards most of the time. He did quite well. :P Some of them were making baffling moves. (Doubling-down on a soft fourteen when five cards win? Eh?) There was one guy who strongly implored another player not to take a hit on his 8, because he was certain that would take my bust card. The guy took his advice. That...didn't turn out so well.

I spent five bucks on prescription cat food yesterday afternoon, and I was srsly down to pennies in my checking account, so it was well-timed, too. I got almost twenty bucks in tips, which will get me through the week for cash.

The party was in town, so I drove myself and parked next to my bank. I deposited my check right after the party was over. Ah, convenience. This bank is downtown, so there's a lot of people who walk up to use the drive-through ATM, but I was too tired for that. I'm not usually at a standing table, but I was last night. I didn't have a wall to lean on, and I was busy all night. And I wore not-terribly-comfy shoes. Brought sandals for pre- and post-party, which helped a bit.

I entered the wrong amount on screen when I deposited my check, but the bank will correct it. I am no longer straddling the thin line between upstanding customer and delinquent check-bouncer. And I can also buy gas if I need to!

Man, life is great.

financially prudent (ha ha ha), dealing
