"He can't read my poker face"

My like for playing poker is turning into an obsession. Now that ive learned {let me rephrase that, I'm 'learning'} how to play! {i am oooh so proud of myself i can check that off my list! CHECK!} I have it on my iPhone and I play allllllllllllllllllllllll the time! I can't even put it down while I'm driving, which is probably just as bad as texting and driving. {oops} its seriously thrilling! I don't play with real money and I still haven't been to an actual casino. For the most part it's probably a good thing because I'd for sure be broke while picking up a gambling addiction. {well thats just awesome!} I've been fortunate enough to have friends that have poker nights and invite me along to play. Sometimes for fair amounts of cash but most of the time, just for chips. {and not the kind that you eat} They are all more advanced and a lot faster than myself, but they suck it up and let a newbie into the game. It's difficult for me to have a 'poker face' since I have a variety of facial expressions that are all dead give away of the cards that I'm holding. {big surprise there!} I either have to bluff it or bluff that I'm bluffing to bluff the bluff that I need to bluff? {what?!} LOL I look forward to poker night even though most of the time I lose. :-( I've folded on hands that I could have won because I get too nervous or I don't realize that I had a good hand and could have won everyone's money. I don't see being a card shark anywhere in my near future. Trying to mind read what my fellow pokerist might play is tricky and no one will tell me! I might have a good hand, but someone might have a better hand and how much am I willing to risk to find out? Or maybe the next card will be the card I need to win? Should I just fold? Maybe? It's nice to know that I can take risk. It's just a card game and I find it fun. It keeps me on my toes and gives me the chance to give money away to my friends. CHECK!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...
