Since I broke down my Louisiana load had to be given to another driver. That's ok. I'm taking a load down to NC by way of Cincinnati. As I don't need to be in Cincy until Monday morning I can afford to take some rest time.
I've checked into the hotel and stocked the fridge with brew. I'm tired so I'm not even going over to Appleby's. I'm just going to rest and relax here in the room. I'm chilling out for the moment and as soon as I work up the energy I'm going to get a nice steamy hot shower to de-hog myself and then I can really relax.
The last time I was here at this hotel, a week or two ago - I lose track, I left my rather pricey diamond earring in the bathroom when I checked out. I inquired about it at the desk but it's a new woman working and she didn't know if housekeeping had been honest enough to turn it in or not. I'm betting not.
The manager will be coming to work in a couple of hours and she promised that she would ask her and let me know.
I suspect I'll just have to buy a new one. Ah well, no-one to fault for it but myself. Such is life and I won't mourn the loss of a shiny rock.
