Home again after spending the last couple of days in OK with my Match guy. We had another magical time together. It is nice to be home again and back out on the prairie.
We spent a quiet couple of days together. The first full day I was there we took a long hike and then had two of his friends over for dinner. It was a fun evening with his friends. Dinner was good and the conversation interesting. Saturday there was a wind storm that came through and did some damage to the roof of the garage. Match guy had to spend several hours fixing that. I’m gad I was there as the ladder to the roof blew over and he wouldn’t have been able to get down easily. After he got that fixed he noticed the sewer line had backed up so he had to fix that.
We fixed steaks for dinner Saturday night and had a quiet evening at home. Sunday morning we went to church together and then out for lunch. I drove home in the afternoon.
Time with him is very relaxed and easy for me. We can sit and be quiet together or have interesting conversations. I had taken some knitting with me so while he was outside working Saturday I knitted. The time went by very quickly. The only hard part is when I had to leave and say goodbye. I am really looking forward to our trip back east together in two weeks.
I have a busy week ahead. Tomorrow I do taxes at the Senior Center and then go to the Cottonwood Falls Senior Center in the afternoon to do another shift doing taxes. The same schedule applies on Tuesday. Wednesday I am going to KC to see Nicole and a friend and then I have to get home by 5:00 for another tax shift. Thursday morning I do taxes in Emporia again. I also will be stuffing the Spring Newsletter for Pioneer Bluffs this week. Parts of the Newsletter are ready for pickup tomorrow and maybe all of the pieces will be ready.
I found someone who is willing to come look at my bamboo floors to see if he can refinish them. I had called two other guys that refinish hardwood floor and neither one of them were interested in the project and wouldn’t even come look at them. Trusting this guy will show up as promised this Friday and will accept the job. They have needed done since I moved in five years ago.
It is nice to relax in my own home tonight. The sunset was stunning with bright red colors. Not used to daylight savings time yet and it feels weird to still have a bit of daylight at 8:00 pm. Maybe I can sleep in a bit tomorrow with the light coming later than I am used to. I will have to get up by 7:00 though as I have to be in town by 8:45. Might have to set an alarm as the sun won’t be available to wake me up early.
Booked my last room for the Symphony on the Prairie weekend. If I am going to have three rooms booked I might as well have all four. I have three full house bookings on my calendar, one in April, one in May and one in June. I’m not taking other bookings right now as I don’t know what my availability is and I don’t want to have commitments that I can’t get out of easily.
Decompressing after being gone for a few days. The house feels big and empty to me tonight after being with someone for the last couple of days. It is always good to get back home after being away but I sure miss my Match guy. Things continue to heat up between us. It feels right to be with him.
Grateful or the time with my Match guy, grateful for a safe trip home, and grateful for my house sitter that took good care of the house and critters so I could get away and play.
