Quiet morning at home.  My guests are on their trail ride at Flying W Ranch.  Kathy is at Pioneer Bluffs giving a tour.  It is nice to have a quiet, empty house this morning.

I have an issue I need to figure out how to deal with.  For some reason I have a strong, negative reaction when my guests get into my personal refrigerator.  Not sure why it triggers something in me.  I heard my guest this morning getting ice out of my freezer at 6:00.  I have a bag of ice in the guest refrigerator downstairs he could have used.  It really started my day off on the wrong foot.  Wish I could figure out why this little issue triggers me so much.  I tell my guests when I check them in  that my refrigerator is off-limits.  Some guests honor that but others don’t.  It doesn’t feel like it should be such a big deal – I share the rest of my house with no issues.  One of those things that make me wonder about myself!

Got invited to go to the lake tomorrow.  I have to flip two rooms so need to stay home and get that done.  Sometimes it sucks to work!  I still have trouble thinking of what I am doing is work – except when someone invites me to do something fun and I have to stay home to do laundry, clean and check-in guests.

Going to be yet another hot day on the prairie today.  No relief in sight as the ten-day forecast has all 90 degree plus days on it.  No chance of rain soon either.  I can’t remember a summer that has been this hot for so long.  Guess we were overdue for a hot one.  Wonder if that means we will have a long, cold winter?

I am having trouble accessing my Airbnb calendar so I can check availability and block some days off for me.  I switched to guest and checked the calendar and it is showing I am fully booked beginning in August forward.  I thought it was strange I hadn’t gotten any more bookings.  I just sent a note to support to see if they can help me.  I haven’t accessed support before so trusting they will be able to resolve it easily.

My mind is so quiet and empty today I can’t hang on to a thought long enough to capture it.  Good thing I don’t have a busy day as I’m not sure how productive I could be.  Good day to sit and be!

Grateful for a quiet morning at home, grateful for tea towels to embroidery so I can keep my hands busy, and grateful for the fan blowing cool air on me today.
