KarmaCruisers

Took a little siesta. Going to go down to ChiBang here in just a little bit. Debating taking a full on shower…but maybe just a hor (misspelled that on purpose) bath. checked-In for my flight tommorow..which sucks because it’s at 5:30pm (no other options for AA out of MIA that’s a non-stop.) last time like this; we did a carnival “top 10 of Miami” just to burn a few hours. i think this time I’ll just take the hit and be at the airport for 7 hours (damn I just realized it’s ACTUALLY SEVEN HOURS!) I guess I can get REALLY acquainted with MIA hahah. (I’ll almost be like the Tom Hanks character in The Terminal)

Thanks. yeah my problem is I’m lonely with a lot of extra income; and not interested in hookers…gambling is almost tailor-made for the lonely man. lol

Hooray I’m all packed! Watching FoodTV now. Looking out at this

The “free drinks” are useless for me because I’m not a drinker (especially now trying to not consume excess calories) but looking at it that way; yes. If I continue to get the same offer (free balcony + cheers) it comes out in the end. Is $5500 a lot of money? Yes Is not having this $5500 going to change anything in my life? Absolutely not; I wouldn’t have lost it if I couldn’t stand to lose it. That’s the problem; I didn’t have fun in the casino. But TBH; I don’t have “fun” doing anything really. (That’s another story, I need to take up with my doctor) I’m just ashamed that I did it, and I have to start the “sober” clock all over again (I was almost 90 days clean)

Yeah I destroyed my metabolism too much for that (pro level athlete in high school..to once I got my first job in IT, I became a complete blob for the next 20+ years) Also I’m probably just born with bad genetics

To add; A LOT of people were ordering MASSIVE plates of crab and shrimp (like 2lbs of each at a time)..I figure a lot of people finally got some casino comps to burn haha

The rolls were good; as you can see I didn’t eat the bread (too many calories for no pleasure haha)

Came back to the cabin to relax..last towel animal (and one from yesterday I forgot to post)

Hahahahah i probably just gained two pounds in shellfish meat!

JFC! Haha I didn’t realize just how much food $60 at the Seafood Shack buys.. 1lb of Snow Crab 1lb of 20-24(size) peal-&-eat shrimp 1 lobster roll Hopefully I can CARRY all this food across lido into the air conditioning!

I think I’m going to do some work until lunch.

So just for kicks I went and asked for more comps got $60 to seafood shack for lunch and $40 for dinner at ChiBang (going to order the chili lobster again, and that’s a known cost of $8+$30

The problem with that is I live in a small migrant farm worker community. I work in the Bay Area..so I can’t “hang out” with coworkers (150 minute commute each way) My coworkers said I should move to the bay; but honestly I despise the Bay Area and would rather be castrated than live there. i only work there because they give me unholy amounts of money.

Unfortunately, the original loss on the wash of the $10,000 gift cards ($700) Plus the entire loss of the last batch ($1800) Plus I chased it with $3000 So a grand total loss of $5500. SO, -$5500 when it COULD have been +$1200 if I’d of left the gambling out (which I’ll do on future cruises; so they’ll pay ME to cruise)

Breakfast…I chose two Huevos instead

I actually switched lines to the Huevos Rancheros/Arepas line..Apparently arepa dough is corn, so that’s ok also with the Huevos I can just eat everything but the tortilla

Pretty good line for Blue Iguana..I don’t see any “bowls” so I’ll just open the burrito and eat the “guts” hahahaha

Thanks and of course I will; who else would I talk to? (I don’t have any friends and I’m an only child; my coworkers are my only “friends” [we’ve all been together for 8 years now] but I’m SURE they’re tired of taking an ear-banging from me)

Going to see if Blue Iguana can make me a burrito breakfast bowl

Almost the last shirt of the day.. showing some hometown love with the fastest thing in the valley

Haha I forgot to tell this story yesterday.. So when I was in the lunch line at Blue Lagoon, they had corn on the cobb (which was really good BTW) and the people in front of me were like “No corn..you know your body doesn’t digest it, and if your body can’t digest it, I won’t put it in.” LOL! This is honestly the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard..all because you can see corn kernels in your poo. HAHAHAHAHAHHA You can’t make this stuff up

I also want to add that I’m doing all this stuff for my health and to lose weight (to at least get from an “Obese” BMI, down to the top of the “Normal” range) because there’s a 99% chance I’ll be back on the dating market, and I can’t be looking like a 2/10 otherwise I’ll end up with a 2/10. (You can’t ask for what you don’t offer) same rules apply for my new teeth.

I have had a blast! I had never been to Grand Turk before; and I absolutely loved it at HSH. I had been to Nassau three times before, but all hotel stays at Atlantis; So from watching @LifeWithFavor on YT, I knew I wanted to check out the Blue Lagoon…and it was awesome too! In the DR, I’ve done MonkeyLand; I DO want to do the Dajamagua Falls..but it was just tooo damn hot to hike through the jungle. Food has been good, I like that I tried new things (New ChiBang dinner menu, Emerils) I AM proud of myself for getting up on the SeaDays and putting in the mile on the track. (I didn’t do it on port days because I was too rushed for time…and DR day was just too damn hot to be outside!) Im a little disappointed that I drank probably too many PURE SUGAR drinks. (But I really wanted to try that “Kiss on the Lips” because it looked/sounded like a frozen mango dessert! And it pretty much was, haha) IF I get a CBS offer under the door today/tommorow, I may see about booking a carnival for Labor Day..as my work mandated we WFH that week, and I don’t have anything planned yet.

OK! So we’re past the ugliness now. So let’s move on.. I forgot to post dinner pictures..haha the chicken breast honestly was no better then I make at home in the air fryer (all I use is a little olive oil) and then there’s the coveted lobster McNugget for apps I had the Cesar’s salad and the mushroom soup (which was a little too salty for me, sadly)

It’s also not too fun to invest, invest, invest and then one day have a heart attack and die.. yes I am investing but I am also out living life blowing money because tommorow isn’t promised.
