Yesterday, I had a lovely day at the zoo. I fed 4 stingrays, fed lorikeets (pretty birds), and I pet a blue tongued skink (lizard) and a snake!
I haven't been having a lot of luck at the tables (QQs lost to AK AAPF) so it's extra important to have life balance. ❤️♠️

My husband now has the stomach bug (or food poisoning??) that got me a few days ago, so he's MIA.
I'm enjoying the sea breeze at a wonderful time at night for a solo dinner, listening to live music and sipping on one of my favorite drinks.
I'm really happy, and that's nice.

I returned to the site where Brad Owen stacked me (Seminole Hard Rock, Hollywood) and faced my fears.
Like the Borgata, last year, this casino kicked my butt.
I was concerned history was about to repeat when I was down $900, but I rallied and made out like a bandit!

Only one loss that was well worth $63 in order to play w/ all ladies for the 1st time for the Pink Chip Event, my 1st ever livestream! If you want to watch me, I begin at 2:16 & play for 4 hours. bit.ly/4aecIDX
My overall trajectory at the Borgata is nice! 📈

Some of you were interested in how I ended up doing overall at the Borgata this weekend.
I am proud to share that I won $2,038 over six sessions. (See 4 of my sessions pictured). I played for 25 hours & 15 mins.
Longest session = 8 hours & 47 mins; shortest = 1 hour.

Yesterday, someone(s) TORE through my book!
A whooping 420 (tehe 🌬) pages were read on Kindle, so someone may have started and finished the book in one sitting!
I definitely refresh my stats everyday and it's so fun watching people consume what I created from afar!

Really pleased with today's session:
- the big comeuppance was calling someone's all-in when I had aces & they held
- recommended my book to two young players who really lacked initiative/aggression
- played w/ one of my fav players in Pittsburgh
- ended on a high note!
