Waiting.

-

Less than 4 months now to the last trip of the year. Seems like a long way away, and...it IS a long way away. I squeezed a lot of Vegas in to the first 6 months of the year, now I wait. It's good, need to re-charge the enthusiasm. Hard to get all charged up when you're going every few months like I did. March, April, July.

Still no room booked. Haven't gotten any offers better than 2 nights, and I need 4. I know I'll have to pay for one night but I don't want to have to pay for 2 if I can help it. Also the only resort that's hitting me up is Monte Carlo. Eh. Something will come along.

Nothing really exciting going on here in the city. I did have a little adventure last night with a live, breathing female of the species. Out of towner who I met in a bar, chatted up, then took bar-hopping with me. Cute. No hook up but held hands, kissed a bit. Nice just to feel like I was back in the game, even if only for a night. She's moving to the City, so potential future...I don't know what.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the first sniff of female companionship I've had in nearly two years.

I know why. I currently am struck out when going to bat in the bars. One strike is I'm 46. A 46 year old guy who likes younger women. Second strike is I'm bald. As previously stated, I probably lose a third of all potential hook ups on that alone. third, I'm fat. I'm currently tipping the scales at 260 lbs. Even for a 6'2" guy, that's fat.

I can't do anything about the first strike. None of us can reverse the clock. The baldness is remediable, but I have no desire to do the hair plug thing. So that leaves one strike that I can do something about, which is losing some god damn weight.

I love food. But I think I can get by w/o it for a few days a week to extend my life and extend my ability to get laid. Going to try to go primarily liquid only during my work week, meaning from Monday to Thursday. Friday after work to Sunday night bedtime I'll allow myself to eat whatever I want. Doing this during the work day is not a problem, I usually eat light during the day, it will be after work and my traditional snacktime that I will have to employ the willpower.

Going to do Ensure or something similar so I'm still more or less getting the nutrients I need. 3 of those a day and that's going to be pretty much it. We'll see if that helps. Can't hurt. Love to get down to 220-230 lbs and have a fighting chance in the game again.

Svelte Xmas trip?

This is going to be a baller-ass vacation. Private planes, 1100 sq ft suites in a 5-star resort, steaks and high-end sashimi. We be living  good  on the 55th birthday trip. It all starts with flying semi-private on JSX in and out. Flown with them a couple times before, SO much less hassle than dealing with the fucking major airports. Private terminal, no TSA, no bag worries, big cushy seats, free drinks. Hopping on in OAK and will just UBER it to and from. So much more evolved than being basically violated by TSA in the normal airports.  Then on arrival in LAS it's in the taxi and over to Resorts World. I have added early check-in to standby, so hopefully I can just roll straight up to the room at 1:30p. It's the One Bedroom Suite at the Conrad, 1100 sq ft of lovely at the north end of the strip. No resort hopping this time, one room, one unpack, one relax.  Trying to think back, pretty sure this will be the biggest room I've ever had in Vegas, I think Encore or Dela...

A decent haul, y'all. -6 nights at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. $412 all in. Would be $1409 all in with the best website rate. Saved $997 over rack rate. -$30 Freeplay and $50 Resort Credit included in the deal. $80 value. -Roughly $160 in Freeplay from MGM by the time I get to town, $160 value. Total overhead saved = $1237. Not nearly an all timer but not bad for a holiday week trip. Would have been $700 more had I stayed at Fontainebleau as originally planned so a bit of frugality after the baller April trip.  1 month.

Got a nice little Resort Credit bump today, from an old job.  While I was with Kit/Ro in late '22 to early '23 I racked up some Marriot points while I was flirting with the move to Phoenix. Now that Marriot and MGM are bumping uglies, I was able to convert those (otherwise useless) points into MGM Rewards points. It turned into about $190 in credit, which, thanks old job! That means with what I already had earned, I will have over $230 available for the Xmas trip. Hello, Xmas dinner on Marriot, and one other dinner too. That's on top of the $50 I will have from the Aria booking package, and the potential $100 RC bump from getting to Gold on the trip, if I do. 3 nice meals (at least) inbound. We eatin'  good  for Xmas, y'all. The Xmas-freebies post coming up this year will be tidy.
