All six guests have checked-in and are out and about this afternoon. The group from Washington State only had three instead of the four they had told me were coming. The youngster didn’t come.
Have towels washing now so I can finish getting their rooms reset. Made breakfast for two of the guests. They wanted eggs, bacon, toast and fruit. Easy! Tomorrow I am making Crock Pot Steel Cut Oats as the three that will be eating are all leaving at different times. That way it can be ready by 7:00 and they can eat when they want to.
Stamped two more sets of tea towels this morning so I have something to do when I feel like sitting. Pressed two other sets so have three sets now ready to give away or sell. I found a set I had done several months ago when I was digging out more tea towels to stamp. I had forgotten about them.
Ran into Emporia around noon to get some groceries. One of my friends lost her mother-in-law yesterday and I offered to take dinner to them Sunday evening. Only going to feed five so not much food is needed. Have eggs and potatoes cooking now. I’ll get part of it put together this afternoon while my guests are out and about and finish the rest tomorrow afternoon after three of the guests check-out. The other three have a birthday party to go to tomorrow afternoon.
I decided not to go to the Symphony tonight. Just not in the mood to people today. I’m sure it is beautiful but not today for me. Kathy is using one of my tickets and is going with some friends of ours. I know she will enjoy it. The heat doesn’t bother her like it does me.
I screwed up and ate some bacon for breakfast and lunch today. I didn’t even think to check the ingredient list on the bacon package to see if it had sugar in it. Thinking from the way my tummy is reacting to it and the headache I have the bacon has sugar in it as well as some artificial flavoring of some sort. I hadn’t had much processed food lately and the bacon is really bothering me. Good reminder not to eat junk food and I now have to include bacon as junk food for me. My body has gotten used to one ingredient foods and doesn’t tolerate processed food any more.
Looking forward to Monday – Thursday when we don’t have any guests in the house. It has been over two weeks since we have had a break. It has gone well and fast but I will enjoy an empty house for a couple of days.
I’m tired this afternoon as I didn’t sleep much again last night. I might take a short nap this afternoon while the house is quiet. I stayed up until 11:00 last night as the guests from the west coast didn’t get here until almost 10:00. The other guests were up by 7:00 this morning. Hard to balance both ends!
Grateful for learning new things my body no longer likes me to eat, grateful one breakfast is done and only one to go, and grateful I have an empty house this afternoon so I can recharge my soul.
