Lazy day on the prairie today. Decided not to even look at my to-do list today and take the day off. I am getting good at doing nothing! My next guest doesn’t come in until late afternoon tomorrow so have all day tomorrow to get ready for him. I need some groceries but I am putting that off until tomorrow too.
Got two sets of tea towels pressed and tied and put away. Have started another set. Stamped a second set this morning while the iron was hot. Still waiting until the fun goes away from making them – hasn’t happened yet.
Someone wants my old refrigerator. They were to have come get it yesterday afternoon but had a flat tire and didn’t make it. They are to try again tomorrow evening. I don’t have good luck on the Buy Sell or Trade Sites – people say they want things but then have trouble showing up to get them. Two other people are interested so if they don’t make it tomorrow night I will move on to someone else.
Still have a twin bed I need to list and get out of here. The matching twin bed is still in the shop getting fixed if possible. I have two mattresses and two box springs stacked in my storage closet and I can’t get to things in that room right now. Need to get them moved out so I can finish sorting in that room.
Cloudy hot day on the prairie today. 60% chance of rain for overnight tonight. Crossing my fingers and my toes it rains all night.
Still showing clear skies for Saturday night so the viewing for the Perseid Meteor Shower should be good. I love watching the meteors streaking through the night sky.
Still haven’t gotten a bid from the second company for the two roof jobs I need done. The owner is hard to get hold of. Thinking I will just go with the other company that has done what he said he would do promptly. My business partner recommended him so I know he is reliable and does good work.
Got a booking for five nights the first week of October yesterday. So far this is the only booking I have for after September 3. Maybe the ice has been broken and others will now start booking. Fall is a beautiful time to come to the Flint Hills.
Have been noticing I have been getting a headache about every afternoon lately. I used to have headaches all the time but they had gone away for several months. Wonder why they are back? Most days they go away and I don’t have to take anything for them. Somedays they seem to intensify and I have to take some Tylenol to get rid of them.
Have been experimenting with my diet as I am five pounds from goal weight. I am to start adding some food so I can coast into goal weight and not go below it. I had a peach for lunch today. About fifteen minutes after I ate it I had a hot flash that lasted several minutes. Thinking it was a sugar rush. Not sure I want to do that again! I want to see if fruit will trigger my sugar cravings like they did earlier in the diet. So far that hasn’t happened today but I sure didn’t like the hot flash. Not sure the peach was worth that.
Still thinking I won’t get to add much food back in with my slow metabolism. My weight loss has slowed way down already without the additional food. Ever so close to my goal yet it feels so far away.
Still working on figuring out the whole on-line dating scene. Not sure what the rules of dating are these days. Do I make the first move or do I wait for the guy to? Someone had sent me a message and I waited a day to reply and by then his profile was inactive. Another guy wanted my email address so he could give it to his friend who isn’t on the site – I said no thanks. Not impressed yet but it has only been two days.
I either need to get my body moving or go take a nap. Not sure which I want to do. I keep nodding off sitting in my chair. Must be the cloudy day making me sleepy today. Good nap day!
Grateful for a day off with nothing that I have to do today, grateful for the possibility of rain tonight, and grateful for an October booking.
