DAY 101

Moving on - almost into the Memorial Day Weekend which is fun because we get the extra day off from work... Have been working hard and pretty fatigued, but it's all good.  I would hate to have a job that wasn't busy - - so this works out great for me!  Looking forward to relaxing, which I somehow am able to do more of on my time off.  I think, no - I know, I'm less uptight being gf.  It has given me a freedom I didn't have for so long.  I was thinking about it - I had started at the casinos in 1998 or 99, so it has been a good long while since I have felt this level of freedom. 
There is a friend at work that has been observing the changes I've gone through... we were talking about it yesterday.  She too is staying away and said she can't believe the difference now from when I used to walk into work after a weekend . . . with a certain look on my face that told it all. (what I had gone through on the weekend).  She said - you are so much calmer now and seem so happy.  She also confided in me details about her gambling habits that I was unaware of - such as cashing out vacation time for gambling money (many times over) and losing it all.  She & I used to go to the casino together, but it hasn't until now that she is revealing the true problems she had encountered with it as well.  Common thread with all of us..
Well, I'm rambling on, but signing off now - on to DAY 102!!
Take care,
