Three guests have checked out and the other three are at a birthday party picnic for the day. Have three beds made up and the last load of towels is in the washer. The other three guests leave tomorrow morning.
I feel like I made two new friends over the weekend. One of the three guests that checked-out today I knew. She has house sat for me before. She told two of her friends about this place and they joined her for the weekend. What nice woman they are! We had a delightful conversation over breakfast this morning.
Sounds like the Symphony was a hit last night. Kathy had a grand time as did the volunteers. Heard it will be in Chase County next year. The guests that stayed are going to book all six beds for next year when they get home so they can come back and stay again and bring other family members with them.
I sold a set of tea towels to the guests that are leaving tomorrow. They reminded her of her grandmother! Wonder if that makes me old? One reason I do them is because my grandmother taught me how to make them and I think of her when I make them.
I am fixing dinner for a family that had a parent die. Have part of it fixed and will finish making the other things I am taking later this afternoon. Have already done two loads of dishes today and will have at least one more load to do, if not two. Have spent the weekend doing laundry and dishes!
Have to be in Topeka by 2:45 tomorrow afternoon for my thyroid ultrasound. Trying to think if there is anything I need while I am in a big city. Not sure when my guests are leaving so don’t know if I can get away early and do some shopping if I think of something I need.
Today is 120 days of eating on the Bright Line Plan. I have lost 28 pounds so far. Have another 13 – 20 to go. Not sure where I want to end up yet. 1 am 13 pounds from the first goal I set but may go down another 7 after that. I’ll see what my body wants to do and how I feel. Still struggle to see myself lighter than I was. When I look in the mirror I don’t see much difference.
Going to be another hot day out today. Forecast calls for it to reach 96 today with 20 plus MPH winds. The guests from Washington state are sure struggling with our heat and humidity. It doesn’t usually get this hot back where they live.
I slept really hard last night from about 9:30 – 1:00 and then didn’t sleep much after that. I have been doing some embroidery work this afternoon and my eyes are tired. May need to find something else to do for a bit so I don’t fall asleep sewing.
Have three more guests arriving Friday this week but only for one night. I will need to clean again on Thursday so I will be ready for them. Next week I have one guest coming Tuesday and staying until Friday. After that I have some down time as of right now. That seems to change quickly though.
May run into Cottonwood Falls in a bit. They have some old-fashioned demonstrations going on by the courthouse this afternoon. Might be fun to see what is going on. All my recyclable containers are full and need dumped so I need to run into Cottonwood and do that anyways.
Never did get my mowing done so will need to get that on my list of things to do some early morning this week. Sure too hot to mow in the afternoons.
Grateful for the release of 28 pounds, grateful for the guests that came to stay and became friends, and grateful a set of tea towels moved out quickly.
