Packing day! I need to leave the house by 8:00 in the morning so my goal for the day is to have everything packed and loaded in the car before I go to bed tonight. We have a 12:25 flight tomorrow so need to be at Nicole’s house by 10:00. So ready to get this adventure started.
Took a two-mile walk yesterday morning and plan on doing the same this morning. Need to remember to wear a hat though as the sun gets hot. Not sure I am ready for summer temperatures. I like that the house gets a bit chilly at night with the windows open. I am not a big fan of AC so won’t turn it on until the house doesn’t cool down at night.
Forgot to stock up on chicken lettuce so after my walk I want to run into town and pick some up. May look for one more top to wear with my skirts. I tend to spill things down my front so an extra shirt might come in handy.
Tim said he would come out and mow for me while I was gone. He can listen to my mower and decide if it needs to go in for a check. It sounds at times like it cuts out to me but I don’t know much about mowers. I have been able to get it started without using the magic spray. Thanks Tim! That makes a nice Mother’s Day gift!
I have been watching some barn swallows nesting in a light fixture just out my south door. They sure get noisy and protective when someone walks on the deck. I think I see little heads poking up out of the nest now but am not sure. I need to get a ladder out and take a peek.
Another beautiful KS spring day – although it will feel more summer like by mid-afternoon. It is to reach close to 90 again today. When I came out of Prairie Past Times yesterday the thermometer in my car said it was 93. Not a big fan of hot weather. It has been easier this year tolerating it though as I am not sweating near as much as I did last year while I was hyperthyroid. I did sweat a bit after my walk yesterday but I wasn’t dripping like I would have been a year ago.
Lost another pound today so am now over halfway to my goal weight! Sure trusting I won’t blow it while I am on vacation. It is harder to get back on the wagon if I fall off than it is to stay on. I am really determined this time to stay off flour and sugar as I know my very life depends on it now. Flour and sugar feed cancer and I need to do my part to make sure the thyroid cancer doesn’t come back. The heart issue I am having reminds me to take better care of myself too.
A lady contacted me about her and her boyfriend staying here for two months starting July 5. I haven’t heard back from her so not sure she is going to book. I have mixed feelings about it anyways so if she decided not to I will know it wasn’t meant to be. Two months of having someone living in the house is a long time. She had good reviews from her other hosts on Airbnb but I like my private space. I would be willing to try it once to see how it went though.
Got a call from someone looking for a room the weekend of the DK and rodeo. I already have all three rooms booked that weekend. They may bring their camper out and plug it in down by the barn. They have a horse so they weren’t sure what they were going to do with it.
Grateful for new baby birds on this beautiful day, grateful for Tim and his willingness to mow for me while I am gone, and grateful that it is packing day and my adventure starts tomorrow!
