Thanks much for that, really do appreciate you guys being understanding. I came into this year thinking I would just grind my ass off as I actually broke up with my GF Nov 1, the day of the VIP change announcements lolz. Kinda overreacted/freaked out and was like 'l8er chirp, can't help support you anymore' and we hadn't really talked much until around Christmas time and still thought even when New Yr's came around that I would just casually hangout with her once in a while and she'd be mi cholita (my homey
). But apparently we're incapable of doing that, have wayyyy too much
for her, and her me
.
Lol, and while I am just rambling on, it's actually kind of crazy how expensive a lot of stuff is in Mexico, electronics comes to mind really quickly (TVs, computers, phones etc). Obv most stuff is quite cheap compared to US/first world, but most things are wayyyy more expensive than most ppl would think. I now understand why tons of ppl live in a single house most of the time bc that makes the rent/cost of housing super cheap (like 6-12 ppl in a $400-$600/month 2-3bdr place), bc a lot of 'normal' **** really isn't that cheap.
Just today, I had to pay 500 pesos (about $28 USD) for a new school uniform for Alexa (9 yr old niece that my GF is essentially the guardian of), that comes up every few weeks. Obv that $ amount is nothing for me, but when it's coming up semi frequently and the avg person is making $2/hr, **** adds up real fast. Basically from what I've seen, a lot of family lives together and everyone pretty much does what they can and the money is pooled together and ppl get by.
Do have a nicer pic of her $60 nails to share though
Okay yea, so just a quick update on why the hell I haven't been able to grind. Been busy w her going to doctors appts and then we've combined a lot of stuff that needed to get done like taking her car to the mechanic yesterday as we knew I was going with her to her doctors appt today, so she didn't actually need her car. Got the new dining room table she needs ordered, went and paid all of the bills for her place, I got my banking errands out of the way, etc etc, we just really got everything out of the way with the idea that I'd be able to grind my ass off super hard Fri/Sat/Sun morning before the Super Bowl.
AND THEN, we find out today around 5:30pm at her dentist appointment that she needs to have 4 molers removed and it's super urgent and it needs to be done tomorrow. Just lol at this, so now instead of putting up a huge friday grind, I've got to be over to her house (45 minute drive) by about 9:45am in the morning so we can get bfast and then get to downtown Tijuana which is 30 mins from her house for her 12pm appointment. Afterwards, she's obv going to feel like ****, we're not entirelyyy sure what's going to happen yet, but there's a chance that her, her little brother, niece and dog are gonna wind up at my place for the night so she can relax/rest and I can help with the kids+dog (sorry to my roommate in advance
, though he already knows/agreed to it). At the very least, we'll get the kids from school together and I'll stay at her house with her until her Mom gets home from work.
Yea so I'm quite sorry I haven't been able to play, obviously a lot of this is out of my control. I COULD just be grinding, but there is more to life than poker, and at the end of the day, I have wanted to be at her side for all of this over playing poker and that will continue
Edit: Lol, holy wall of text, my bad!
