I think I'm not sick anymore. It's hard to tell because coughs manage to make their way out of my throat on occasion. Still, I feel the healthiest I have in two weeks, which is ironic since I spent the last two days in Vegas living life Vegas style, which should in NO way make a person feel healthy. I guess with all the mandatory alcohol consumption there, anything else would feel healthy in comparison.

I don't gamble while I'm there. I personally don't see the point. It's not for me, but I have watched it be very fun for others, and I enjoy watching friends enjoy their gambling, but it's not for me. To me, it's like why don't I just throw some twenties up in the air by a cliff just to see if it might land on the cliff or twist and turn off the side into the ocean. Hell, that's a gamble, right? I was leaving the casino today on my way to head home, and I thought, "Well, I can't not gamble at ALL while I'm here." So, I took out a five dollar bill, threw it into the Wheel of Fortune slots, and watched every cent disappear in less than one minute. I nodded, and walked out of the Luxor having made my conclusion that I will never win one thing in the world from gambling. I enjoy the dog track. Black Jack seems fun enough. I see people having the time of their lives at sports bars, roulette tables, poker james, but something doesn't match right with me. I just can't win.

I'm trapped by TV. I HATE when that happens. When you just can't turn it off, and you NEED to. When you're dying to read, but as soon as you turn off that noise, you just want it back on again. Horrible. Miserable.

I'm exhausted. I'll write more soon. I need to TRY to turn off this TV and get out my new book. I also need to find something about how to get great lighting for your home. I'm having lighting issues.
