Most of you know that I am very much a patient and positive person.  Since my ailment became 
full blown, I am sensitive to noise of any kind.  I prepared for this trip by loading up my MP3
player with tunes to drown out my least favorite
noise - BUTTON SLAPPERS!

Last night, despite James cranking out another quarter Royal on single line VP, we did so with little fan fare and simply passed the camera and continued on. 

I am very much a player NOT a gambler and to win is a shocker.  I see that most noisy BUTTON SLAPPERS are angry and expectant.  This attitude and behaviour is not really acceptable to me.  Inside, I feel like I could go all Kathy Bates - Misery on them.  Forgive me!  I dream of a setting serene like the Nordic Spa where silence is golden.  I envision a place where touch screens abound, clapping and cheers are prohibited.  Ahhh...   

So we dropped off our dirty laundry today and then
stopped off at the Rio for our free Diamond tickets for tomorrow night.  I have wanted to see Penn and Teller for a while now, but refused to pay the price.  James has worked this "Vegas" system for such a long time that not only does it afford us long complimentary holiday time, all the other bells and whistles go along with a little planning.

Annie got us all set up with a newly renovated Gold Coast room that most certainly is the best equipped handicapped room so far.  We're both VERY impressed.

My right arm ached since this morning's breakfast to once again prove my new status as Barometer Girl!  There was a flash flood warning here until 5:45 pm and we could see parts of the City getting blasted by rain.  Not here at Gold Coast though.
