My first guest was gone by 7:30 this morning. I have her room flipped and ready for my long-term boarder to return later today. The other two guests are still here. I have until tomorrow afternoon to get their room flipped so no worries. The two of them had stayed here before when I had the retreat center. I always fixed breakfast for them as part of their stay. I had totally forgotten to get things to fix breakfast for them this morning. Good thing my granddaughter likes pancakes and I keep mix on hand for her. I fixed them bacon, blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs.
Got the two sets of tea towels pressed and tied up this morning and two more sets stamped. I have been sitting and doing embroidery work most of the day. My little guest has enjoyed watching me do it.
I am going to Pioneer Bluffs around 4:00 this afternoon to volunteer for the concert that is happening there this evening at 6:30. My long-term guest called and said he was on his way to my house. I will be gone by the time he gets here so I told him to come in and make himself at home and I would see him later this evening if he is still up. He leaves for work around 6:00 so he may be in bed before I get home. So nice to have guests I can leave alone in the house and not worry about things disappearing.
We got 1/2 inch of rain on the prairie overnight. Every drop is very welcome. It is only forecast to reach 88 today so a little break from the extreme heat we have been having. It will make sitting out and listening to the concert much more enjoyable.
Got a notice from my Veterinarian that the cats are due for their annual shots. I will call tomorrow and get an appointment for them. Roxy is due the middle of July for her shots too. I will need to buy flea and tic medication for all of them this month. I know where my profits are going this month! Grateful I have enough guests to pay for the Vet needs this month.
Got my prescription plan information in the mail Saturday. I will need to find a quiet hour and read through it so I can learn how to get my prescriptions transferred in a timely fashion.
This week is fairly empty at this point. I have a guest coming in tomorrow and staying until Wednesday morning and then two more coming in Friday afternoon. Other than that not much on my calendar. I am so ready for a quiet week full of empty space. I feel like I have been on the fast track since I have been back from Italy. Time to slow things down – real slow!
Worked on catching up the paperwork for the Airbnb. Not done but got a good start on it. I need uninterrupted space to do it and it looks like I will have some time this week to finish that little project up. Makes tax preparation time so much easier if I keep up with recording my data at least quarterly.
I changed out the trash this morning and noticed my trash can is not very full this week. I need to get down to the barn tomorrow and find somethings to help fill it up. Some weeks I fill it with trash and don’t have room to get rid of old records. I am getting close to having all the old records out of the barn. I have a second trash can full of branches my nephew cut down for me last week. I will roll it down and see if my trash man will take them. If he doesn’t I will have to figure out a way to get them taken some other place.
Felt very light-headed this morning. Took my blood pressure and it was 90/70. I skipped my blood pressure pill this morning. Am thinking with all the weight I have lost I may not need as strong of pill as I have. I will keep an eye on my blood pressure and if it remains low without the pill I will make an appointment with my family doctor and see what he recommends. It sure would be nice to get rid of some of the medication I am taking.
Grateful for the rain the prairie received last night and the cooler temperatures today, grateful for a quiet week ahead full of empty space at last, and grateful for a chance to be in service this afternoon at the concert.
