My dad and son guests were on their way back to Tennessee by 6:30 this morning. Both gave me a big hug before they left. I have their room ready for the guest arriving this evening. I hand-scrubbed the floors and have the rugs in the dryer. Beds are made and toilet swished. That was easy!
My single guest was up and out of the house by 7:30 this morning. He didn’t get here until after 10:00 last night. He is playing in a disc golf tournament in Cottonwood Falls today. He is coming back late afternoon to take a shower before he heads back to KC this evening. Since I don’t need his room tonight I gave him special late check-out privileges.
The other two guests left for Mass at 8:30 this morning. I’m not sure what their plans are for the rest of the day. I think they were going to go ride the bus at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve at 11:00 so they could see the buffalo. Haven’t heard yet if the girlfriend is heading back home today or if she is staying for a bit. They sat out in the swings last night and watched the sunset and then got the telescope out and enjoyed the stars for a long time last night. It has been a relaxing weekend for them.
Need to do some more cleaning upstairs and I also need to clean the coffee- room downstairs yet today. I have the essential cleaning done already so what ever else I get done will be a bonus. Found more dirt than I expected to in the bedroom so I must be overdue for a good cleaning in the rest of the house.
Have a friend of Kathy’s coming in for Tuesday night than I have a ten-day break from other guests except for my long-term boarder. It will be nice to have a break. I don’t really have anything much on my calendar but am feeling the need to be able to completely relax and not be “on duty”.
I am going to KC Friday to have lunch with some dear friends and do a Costco run. Saturday I am volunteering again at Pioneer Bluffs for a concert. I am making chicken salad, potato salad, broccoli salad and a fruited cabbage salad for the dinner we are serving prior to the concert. I booked the weekend off so I wouldn’t have to work around guests. I haven’t cooked much for the last five months so wish me luck!
It has felt good to move my body today and clean the house. I have been sitting way too much lately. Finally feeling good again today and have more energy than I have had for the last couple of days.
Got two more sets of tea towels pressed and tied and two more sets stamped. May need to get some more embroidery thread soon. I still have a lot but not two of the same color. Good thing embroidery thread is cheap.
Best get back to cleaning before I lose my motivation to get it done! Gotta strike while the iron is hot!
Grateful the guests are out of the house and the bedroom is cleaned, grateful for the energy to get some cleaning done today, and grateful for the hugs I got from three of my guests today!
