I woke up to the melody of rain today. I could have stayed in bed enjoying it, but it seems I am programmed for guilt, so I ejected myself from the bed. I exercised and the sun came out. I took a walk outside for lunch and got drenched in a downpour and hail. Just before supper, the sky darkened threatening rain, and I just refused to get caught in it again. I made it back just in time. Ha.
                 
I watched an old movie today, Heartburn, 1986 with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. It’s one of my favorites and listening to the rain pouring down outside in my darkened room was the perfect atmosphere to watch it. A friend of mine, I’ll call him Dave because he reminds me of Dave Chappelle, stopped by my room while I was watching it. I explained the plot and the year the movie came out and he felt compelled to remind me he was only four years old at the time. But, I know who Dinah Shore is.
                 
We have a full house tonight at the hotel. Confidante will be busy doing check-ins all night, so I plan on watching the season finale of NCIS, NCIS-LA and The Good Wife. Judging from the hotel traffic, I can tell you business and the economy must be picking up again. Good thing too. We need some encouraging news besides The Donald dropping out of the Presidential race. He’d have a better chance of winning it in Pakistan.
                 
I am thankful every night it rains because then I won’t hear the uneuphonius racket coming from the bar that moved in on our street. I've been waiting for neighbors to call the police until IThunder and lightning is the only thing that will block the loud voices of drunken patrons. This is Richmond people. Must be those loose Yankees from the Jersey shore invading our reserved Southern town. LOL.
                 
We haven’t seen one of the extended-stay guests in awhile who spent several weeks here during winter. She earned the nickname Ms. Diet Coke by the way she made a beeline for the snack area as soon as she walked into the hotel. With her $15 a day corporate food credit, she loaded up with as much stuff as she could carry away, whether she could eat it all or not. Supposedly, her co-workers got the rest. We bet. She thought she was eating healthy because of the diet coke. It must be nice having all your expenses paid by your company. Maybe that’s why she felt compelled to give them their money’s worth.
