Marriot Hotels

I meant to send this earlier, but the afternoon got away from me and I just sat down again.

I did end up trying that route you suggested, and it was much easier than the usual one. The traffic felt lighter, and I actually arrived with enough time to walk around a bit before heading in.

I also took your advice about bringing a notebook instead of relying on my phone, and that helped more than I expected. I remembered a few details I would have forgotten otherwise, especially the small things that only seem obvious in the moment.

I think next time I will start a little earlier just so I do not feel rushed at the beginning. Once I settled in, everything went smoothly and the conversation felt natural.

I am glad you checked in. Sometimes I do not realize I need a second opinion until someone asks how it went, and then it all clicks into place. Let me know when you are free later this week.

Reserved thank-you offer for past Marriot and partner hotel guests

Hotels

Marriot

Trusted comfort across destinations

Guest acknowledgment

Your thank-you gift includes a 2-piece luxury pillow set and a complimentary 2-night stay.

Because you previously stayed with a Marriot hotel or partner property, you may now review this reserved offer while availability remains open.

We are reaching out with a concise update: this thank-you offer is intended for returning guests who already know the value of a well-prepared room, reliable service, and a restful night away.

The included luxury pillow set reflects the sleep experience Marriot is known for, and the complimentary 2-night stay gives you another chance to enjoy that standard at one of their participating hotels.

Why this feels familiar

• Recognized for consistent hospitality across a broad portfolio of destinations

• Designed around the comfort and sleep quality guests expect from Marriot stays

• Reserved specifically for past guests of a Marriot hotel or participating partner hotel

Review Your Pillows + 2-Night Stay

Thank you for staying with Marriot and its partner properties.

We appreciate your past visit and invite you to view your reserved details.

Marriot Hotels

I finally got around to sorting that shelf in the hallway, and it turned into a much bigger project than I expected.

I only planned to move a few things around, but once I started I noticed how many random papers and little objects had collected there over time. I made three piles, then changed my mind and made different piles, which probably says a lot about how organized I was not being.

The good part is that it looks calmer now, and I can actually find what I need without digging through everything first. I even found the note you left me months ago, which made me laugh because I had completely forgotten where I put it.

I think tomorrow I will tackle the drawer by the door, but only if I still have the patience for it. If not, I may call it good and enjoy the fact that one small corner finally feels finished.

Anyway, that was the update from my very glamorous evening.
