no job yet

Well, it's been 2 weeks looking for work and no interviews yet, but something will happen soon I hope. Went to dinner last night, Mexican food and really good, then off to the casino as usual. I had lost all I could stand so LeRoy gave me $40 and said go play. I was holding my own and on my last machine for the night when the machine beeped at me and the message read "jumbo cash winner". That usually means the casino will give $5 to you so all you have to do is press a button to get the credit. I did and a message came up "attendant will be with you soon". I thought, great, the machine has malfunctioned. So I just waited, didn't push any buttons cause I didn't want to lose my $5. In a couple of minutes he came by, pushed some buttons, made a call on his radio, got confirmation on something and I poked his arm and said "are you going to give me lots of money". He said we'll see. He poked a couple of more buttons and said how's $10,000. I grabbed his arm, said you're kidding and he said "no, I'm not kidding". I started to cry on the spot. Yes, I won $10,000 in cash! I get to have my picture taken and added to the wall of winners and security walked us to the car while I carried 100 hundred dollar bills. OMG, I shook for about an hour. Couldn't have come at a better time. I have been wondering how long I could stand to be out of work and which bills are going to get paid. Now I can go at least a little longer without worries. Headed to the bank this morning to make a deposit and open a savings account. I think I'll even get the car washed. I wanted to call the kids right away, but it was 2 in the morning there and I didn't think they would appreciate it too much, so a few calls this morning and then off to knitting club. The weather turned cool again, but only for a couple of days, then back into the 70's. Guess that's about all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.

  1. How COOL is that!!! God has a way of taking care of things even if it is threw vial discusting immoral things such as gambling. Can I send you $10 to play for me and see if your luck holds out? Better Yet, loan me $10 and let me know what I win, I will pay you back from the winnings.
    It's great for the winnings, sorry to hear about the job. Love You Sis
