I'm back to playing online poker again when it's about lounging around at a waiting room or getting a car wash. It's real money, so the fun kicks in hopefully most of the time. I was down $20 in a matter of few days. Oh what fun that was! No, not really. I earned it back, yeah I'm the bomb- back to where I started- just passed away some time.
I'm accepting the spin that leisure is a luxury. Instead of going the easy road, I see that being consistent with great personal tasks is a challenge. In a way, it's about growing up and taking good care of myself. Instead of going after the easy and momentary fun things, I'm going to trade it in for the challenges now.
