We have been remiss in funding our favorite casino this month! We have not taken a casino day since April 13! That is shocking! We usually go every two weeks. The Pony's JOB has thrown a monkey wrench into Val's slot machine habit. We usually go on a weekday, the one that give 15X player points to old people. Weekdays are out now. At least the day with the extra points.
The Pony was off Thursday this week, but was too tired to go. Besides, he knew he'd be working Friday and Saturday. So I told him I had no objection to going Sunday, although I prefer to avoid the weekends at the casino.
"We could go on Sunday, after your dad gets off work."
"Heh, heh! WORK!"
"You know what I mean. His storage unit store."
"I don't know. I want to see 2nd Bestie. Her semester is over. She'll be coming home."
She lives in the city with her parents, an hour away.
"Oh. Okay. Will she be coming down here, or will you go up there?"
"Well. I don't know. I haven't heard back from her."
"It's Friday night, and you still don't know?"
"I sent her a text three days ago, but she hasn't responded."
"Is she mad at you?"
"No. That's just how she is. She goes days without looking at her phone. Sometimes she goes days without talking to anybody in person. That's just how she is."
"I wonder if it has something to do with eating a year-old cookie off the floor of your car. Or that dish of oatmeal with odd ingredients that she made a while back."
"No. She's just like that, too."
Anyhoo... we DID go to the casino on Sunday. The Pony is scheduled off Thursday and Friday. He has plans with his cousin on Friday, and MAYBE he'll hear from 2nd Bestie in time to plan something for Thursday.
I fear that I've lost my Devil's Playground personal shopper.
Shudder. You might have to do your shopping yourself.
ReplyDeleteOr, you and Farmer H could do the shopping together. It would be like date night every time you go shopping...
Heh, you'll have to go back to whatever routine you had while The Pony was still in college. Doing your own Devil's Playground shopping and going to casinos without him.
ReplyDeleteSioux,
ReplyDeleteACK! You're scaring me!

River,
NO! I haven't been to The Devil's Playground in over a year! No need to start again now! I've been spoiled. I'd have to make it a trip for only stuff not found at Country Mart, and limit it to two or three times a year.
It was lonely that time Farmer H and I went to the casino without The Pony, back when he had a digestive upset. I don't know why. It's not like he joins in conversation, or stays with us at the slots, or even waits until we're done with our lunch before jumping up from the table.
