Today was one of the best days I've had in a long time. I have to admit though, I wasn't expecting it to be, due to having to go see the mental health professional who is helping me work through a lot of issues as well as treating me with my depression and constant worrying problem. (Yes, I know that's messed up, but I'm working on it.) Anyway, back to today instead of straying off course.

I had the appointment scheduled for 2PM but my transportation picked me up at 10AM and I was still asleep, because it was late when I went to bed the previous night. Going on 4amish. That right there told me as well it wasn't going to be a good day, however I was wrong. I got worked in to see Dr. Bietman when I arrived because another patient (new one) pulled a no show. That was fine with me. Meant I didn't have to wait all that time. He called me back to his office, discussed some things then so as to not push things to far too fast, called it a day.

I left his office to come home expecting to see my aunt and her son heading toward Columbia to eat and then to the casino. Well, I didn't see them. When I arrived home, they were still here. I was going to ride with them as far as getting my medication then to the post office, but Craig (cousin) said he didn't care if I went to eat and then to the casino. I wasn't going to go because I felt as if I was intruding upon his day with his mom, but both of them kept at me until I went, because they knew I really wanted to.

When we got to Golden Coral in Columbia, he let my aunt and I off at the door, then went to park the van. When we got inside, he wouldn't let either one of us pay for our meals or not eat like I was going to do. Giving me no choice, he paid for all three of us. We sat there for about an hour enjoying our meal and talking.

After leaving there, we went to the Casino. I was so excited because I hadn't been to one in over two years. I got my new card, helped aunt when she needed it, did some gambling, bought Craig a Whiskey on the Rocks, bought myself a few drinks.... A Corona with Lime, Whiskey Sour, Whiskey On The Rocks, Vodka On The Rocks, Shot of Tequila. After that, I drank pepsi and a lot of water. I began playing the penny slot machines which is all I played all night and had fairly good luck with them. I put in $20 at the one machine. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember it had wolves that howl. I won $25 at that machine. When it stopped paying off, I cashed out, went to another machine, inserted the voucher won $10 at that one. Then I moved to Mr Lucky's Fortune Resturant slot machine. Using the same voucher I played and won another $25
