Simply Thankful For 24 Stress-Free Hours

Went to the Borgata Hotel and Casino last night with Marc.  We had a great time.  No traffic getting there.  Made it to the hotel with a pit stop to drop off Wil’ shoes (see previous post) in an hour and half.  Delightful desk clerks at check-in.  Beautiful room (comped, can’t beat that).  
Wonderful people and dealers at our roulette table, great dinner at Sea Blue.  Our waiter, David, was everything you want a waiter to be, nothing more, nothing less.  
Heading back to our room, decided to try more roulette.  Another fun table and great dealers.  I was amazed that they remembered my last bet, no matter what it was, so that they put the chips where I wanted them when I couldn’t easily reach.  
Back to the room, the temperature was perfect.  Didn’t sleep well, but that’s normal for me, unfortunately.  
Out at 11:00 a.m. this morning and would have been back home by 12:30, if not for the trip to Whole Foods for salad (with falafel, my favorite) and sandwiches for lunch.  Home for lunch, then down to the Mount Laurel Costco  to pick up some things for the dinner I’m cooking for my brother, sister, and their spouses tomorrow.  
Starbucks as a treat, then back home again.  It’s now 5:03 p.m. and Marc’s just getting to the NY Times.  I’m in my comfy chair with my new side table that holds all my writing stuff, cords, etc.  (I ordered the table from Levenger the other day and it got here by FedEx this afternoon.)
So this is a simple little post of thanks for all the simple things that went right in the last 24 hours:  an order arrived earlier than expected; the hotel, restaurant and casino last night were stress free; I went to my favorite Costco’s and everyone smiles there no matter how crowded it gets; and, oh yes, the kids’ cats are at the vet getting their nails clipped and their annual shots--so the house is cat free until we pick them up on Monday.  

Yes, the last 24 hours were very nice indeed.
