Came home from the concert just as it was starting. I was peopled out. They really didn’t need me to help – everything was under control. I helped clear plates from the tables for a bit but couldn’t see anything else that needed done. The mosquitos were starting to come after me so I decided to come home.
My guest was here when I got home. He is only staying until Tuesday this week. Since the holiday is in the middle of the week the crew decided to take a long weekend and hit it hard next Monday. I have a guest coming in this evening who is staying until Wednesday morning. That will give me Wednesday and Thursday evening free with no guests! Friday starts another long 15-day stretch with no break from guests. I am ready for two days of no laundry or cleaning required. Of course, someone can always book those days without notice but I will cross my fingers that the two days stay free.
Got the two beds that were used Saturday night washed up and remade this morning. Am waiting on towels to dry and I will be almost ready for the guest to arrive this afternoon. Need to run a broom over the floor, dust and swish the toilet yet. The rugs are in the washer.
Went into Emporia early this morning to get a few groceries. I wanted to get that done before it got hot and the store got crowded. They didn’t have much lettuce for the chickens so I will have to go back mid-week to get some more. The girls don’t have to have their daily treat but they seem to enjoy it. They need to up their egg production or I will cut them off of from their daily treat. It is put out or shut up around here!
Want to finish getting my business records caught up today. The house is quiet today and it will be good to get that project finished up before I forget about doing it.
Feeling a bit drained this morning. Am going to try to drink several bottles of water today and see if that will help. I feel bloated which is unusual for me. I didn’t sleep very good last night again. Maybe I am just tired. I need a quiet day with no one around I think. I feel a bit talked out and like I have been around people too much. Time to recharge and refill.
Grateful for a quiet day at home with no demands on my time, grateful for fresh, clean water to drink, and grateful for the beauty of the prairie around me today.
