Birthday Party

Celbrated sister's birthday with restaurant lunch then cake with ice cream at her house. My brother and wife came with our mother. I missed lunch, but came for cake and ice cream. I gave my sister one of my beaded pens as a gift. Naturally everyone else wanted a freebie, but I explained it's not their birthday. They have to pay for them. Stayed to watch a movie. Had a good conversation with sister.

Car buddy still text messaging me. Now he's apologizing. Must be the therapist getting to him. He didn't expect forgiveness cause he didn't deserve. He treated us badly and doesn't blame roommate for leaving him. He blames himself for being toxic. For weeks he had been stayign roommate was the toxic one. Naturally roommate always asked for validation from me if he was being unreasonable. Half the time I didn't know what they were fighting about so couldn't really answer. I told him that I forgave him, but couldn't speak for roommate. He said his therapist is helping him have healthy relationships. I wished him luck.

My hotelis playing host to the athletes and families of the wrestling tournment at a nearby arena. At my hotel, we have a multilevel waterfall. Security told me some wrestlers decided to go swimming in waterfall pools (with no guard rails) at 3 AM. Yeah, they jumped from the 4th floor waterfall pool to the 3rd floor waterfall pool to the 2nd floor waterfall pool while someone was taking pictures across the atrium. I asked if they got pictures of him yelling at them to get out. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen when they get hurt. Probably posted it on the internet too. I also heard from an engineer that some kids shoved plastic bottles and batteries in 2 ice machines to start fires that set off the fire alarm. Yes, we had an actual fire instead of burst pipes setting off the fire alarm. Engineer had to take them apart to find out why they caught fire. I look forward to them leaving, which is tomorrow. We actually had to hire off duty cops to help control the kids. One look at their uniforms and they are suddenly polite. They combat and laugh at the security officers who can't really do anything to them. Tonight's drama was someone vomiting in the pool and elevator. And 2nd floor hall. Pool got shut down. Engineer cleaned up the elevator and then helped guest with their TV. Security used a dust rag to clean the 2nd floor hall. A homeless guy try to get into guest rooms. Police kicked him out.
