I just want your extra time and your kiss:
I did end up coming out of my normal pre-holiday emotional coma and went to Vega$! It was fun. I managed to only marry one person this time, but I made sure there was a prenup. (I carry several copies in my purse just in case.) I also played my favorite slot machine (Jackpot Party! at a penny a spin, it's a bargain), some poker, and a little roulette, which used to be my favorite game. I realized a few things: slots are kinda boring, roulette is REALLY boring, and casino poker is fun. Not as fun as home games where I get to beat that one neighbor who hates losing with his flush to my full house so much that he stands up and screams bloody murder whilst flailing about, but still.
I also managed to catch a cold while I was there. I spent about 140,000 miles in airplanes this year, and haven't had a cold since about mid-April. 40 hours in Vegas, and I've got the black fucking plague. After getting home last night, I took Advil and alternately had a fever and broke it several times in the night, all under the watchful eye (singular) of my cat. I also woke myself up coughing several times. This morning, I had no voice whatsoever, whereas yesterday I sounded like Peter Brady in that episode where he hit puberty and they had to sing "Time to Change" with his voice cracking. As an aside, Christopher Knight is really hot as a grown-up.
I don't have to travel again until next week, where I'll get to see my grandma and my mom. I didn't go see family for Xmas because I managed to see just about all of my family during other trips in the past few months - uncle and family for Thanksgiving, cousins and dad/grandma/aunt in December, and now mom and other grandma in January. All the holiday guilt assuaged, with none of the actual holiday bullshit. Rock.
In the meantime, send me hot toddies. Thanks.
