who woulda thunk...

that a free trip would cost so much :-p

Today I ran out and got some things that I will need for my trip, and other miscellaneous no trip related things. I took my wife out to a dinner, and let the kids visit with grandma and grandpa. It was a pretty relaxed day overall.

I wasnt home much at all today, but did manage to get in just a little time at the nl tables. basically while I was drinking my morning coffee and about 20 mins this evening.

Since I am adjusting my sleep schedule, I slept until just after noon today. It really doesnt seem right. I am genereally a person that gets up at 5-6 am during the week, and 7 on the weekends. Considering I was up until 6 last night, that wouldnt have been possible.

I am definetly feeling anxious about my trip now. Its coming up real soon, and it seems like I am not at all ready. I will be pretty busy leading up to my departure, and need to fit some time in to get things together. Fortunately I have a great wife, whom I suspect will help me get my things together and pack. I was talking to my wife today, and this will be the longest that we have been apart since we met, and by far the longest tiem I have been away from the kids. I have sent my oldest daughter to visit relatives, and to camp, but that was only about 5 day. I'm going to miss seeing all of them while I am gone.

I have a ton of things to get done for work too, so I think my poker time is going to be nearly non existint. In fact I will probably be workign on work things tonight until about 6 or 7 am. Its a good thing I have a solid stash of redbull at my disposal.

My stepdad loaned me his digital SLR, with a couple of lenses. I'm excited about having a nice camera with me while on my trip. Hopefully I will be able to capture some good shots to remember my trip.

As far as my poker recap for the day goes. I got in 527 hands(according to my poker grapher, sometimes this hasnt been accurate)and profitted $84.97 on the day. I think these #'s include my post midnight play since 12:01am saturday, so they are somewhat innaccurate representation. I definetly hit a profit though, and my bankroll is now at $659.95. So I will book today as a win. Sunday will be the end of my first week, and I hope to continue my upward momentum.
