CHRISTMAS AT THE CASINO

An odd place to spend Christmas morning. Having retrieved my sons car that broke down at the Christmas party last night, we still managed to sneak in the 15 minute drive to Indiana Live casino with mom. We have the kids coming over later for another Christmas get together. This is the one where me and Jojo will actually be at the same place. Christmas with a blended family can get complicated. Monday we will have our last one, that is a get together with friends of Jojo who are like family and our little buddy Gavin will be there.
The plan for today was, I was going to make a lasagna for Christmas dinner, but with all the complications with the dead car retrieval, I think we're going to scratch that idea and go with leftover pizza. Tomorrow I'm making a double batch of chili for the party then I'm done!
I still have much logistical crap to work out with the busted car, make that cars. Him and his live-in both have car issues, that leaves them with none, check that. That leaves me down one car because I had to loan him mine.
Tomorrow I will see what I can do to get at least one car going, it just needs a battery, the other needs an alternator.
I was a little bummed that things didn't turn out exactly as planned this Christmas then I started thinking about families that are dealing with tragedies like the people that lost 5 members of their family due to a fire Christmas morning.
Things like that tend to make me feel like a jerk for sweating the small stuff.

Lost my limit in the slots, was going to have a drink at the bar area but it's closed down for the holiday, rats!
Oh well, guess I'll survive

Wow. I didn't realize the casino bar actually closed.

I haven't been to that casino since I coughed up a lung after leaving probably a year ago.

SMOKE! I hate that stuff.
