Another end to Johanna?
Wow, so long no post.
On Friday I was supposed to meet Johanna for dinner, but when I got home and checked my phone, she had sent a message at about 11am saying she couldn't do dinner anymore as she had to go to Melbourne for the long weekend for "business". I felt that familiar pain of disappointment, but knew too well not to over-react.
Instead, I just took the opportunity to enjoy my freedom and saving some money and went to the gym.
On Saturday morning I went for a jog, then went to the casino and won some money before going into the office to do some work for the upcoming hearing. I managed to get some good work done and then left.
On Sunday I went to the casino, thinking I could make just a bit more. A lot of the usual tables were either packed or empty, but then I spotted the ones further away and closer to the fish tank. They have always been there but I think only recently some of them switched to $10 tables. I bought in and was up by about $100, and played my usual way of trying to time the 1-2 sector. But it went on a really weird trend, going on a streak of like five spins of 0-3 then five spins of 1-2, and eventually those streaks killed me. I dropped $2000 just like that.
But funny thing was, I didn't really feel it. Like, part of me knew I would get it back, part of me knew I had only just lost my previous gains. In the past it would've really made me angry and ashamed, but there was a new 'norm' feeling to it. I did, however, feel the subtle urge to get it back. I just couldn't decide whether it should all be in one go or a bit at a time.
On Monday morning I went to the airport to pick Johanna up. I initially went to the domestic terminal and asked her to come to the waiting area, but for some reason I couldn't see her. Then she sends me a photo of where she is, and I figured out she was at the international terminal. Why was she at the international terminal? Only reason I could think of was she came by coach.
But she didn't. Did she tell me why? No. I asked her what she did in Melbourne and as expected she didn't tell me.
She said she wanted cake, so I took her to Newtown to get the watermelon cake. She didn't really seem interested in the watermelon cake, wanting something even more unique, but she went along with it. She wanted a four portion so we got that, only she didn't eat it. We went to the cafe next door and had breakfast there and she cut a bit of cake for me.
After that we went back to her place, had sex and slept a bit. I suggested for her to try some of the cake but she didn't. She did however give me some 'cakes' she got from Melbourne, which was considerate.
Anyway, I had to meet the guys for dinner and she wanted to get some stationary so we headed out to Office Works. She asked me to drop her off at her friend's place in Chatswood. While at Office Works she was looking for candles. She said she was giving the cake to her friend in Chatswood.
So we just got a pack of coloured pencils and then we stopped in Broadway to get some candles from a discount store. She bought a pack of kit kat as well and I got a drink. In the car park she had half a kit kat in her mouth and I tried to bite the other half, and after a bit of resisting she let me.
I dropped her off at Chatswood, same place as where I picked her up last time, then headed off to pick Malay and Brain up for dinner. We went to Burwood and met Thai there, and had mini hot pot. It was good to just chill with the guys, felt so free and relaxed. After dinner we had coffee/dessert at the cafe nearby and then I drove them all home.
Yesterday after work I went to the casino to try to get my money back. I was chasing a bit of a larger target than usual. I wasn't doing that great and at one stage was really facing the prospect of a $4000 loss in a few days. But I got lucky after a dealer change where it hit 6 where I had like three straight ups and three splits. I ended up leaving with a $830 gain.
Tonight I went to the casino again, waning some de-stressing after the first day of a hearing where I am instructing IB. I was hanging around a $300 gain for a long time. Some lady started playing and got really lucky on a streak of 1-2 sectors, and I felt like I could join her and started playing big. I was floating around my starting capital, and started placing my chips on the table when there was a dealer change. The previous dealer had hit mainly 1-2 sectors, but now that there was a dealer change I wasn't so sure.
But I still piled my chips up everywhere. I felt myself losing control. The dealer spun. I noticed he spun the wheel (not the ball) even faster than the previous dealer. I don't like fast wheels. I then watched as it landed in 20 where I had a straight up and three splits. I immediately cashed out and walked away with a $400 gain. That was enough excitement for me.
Anyway, last night Johanna asked me for another $3000 for her studies, saying her friend can't pay her back yet. This totally turned me off, and I just said now was not a good time. It made me decide that it was probably a good out of the whole 'relationship'. I mean, if she plans on not seeing me just because I refuse to give her more money, then I think I'm the winner here. And it's also made me decide to take the overseas trip by myself. It takes a lot of pressure off me, to think I'd have to buy twice the flight and hotel. I'm just going to say I had to book because I asked her several times and she never confirmed.
