Kathy and her friend arrived around 3:15 yesterday. They have been settling in and getting unpacked. Her friend brought her little dog – can’t say the big dogs and her dog have made friends yet but they are working on it.
Nicole made it home a little before noon today. She had two flights to KC cancelled on her and ended up spending the night in Houston. Makes a very long ending to a trip when travel delays happen. She was glad to finally be home.
Got another request from someone from Airbnb. She wanted to come last night and meet a friend from KC here. I told her I could meet her requests but she never answered back. Third time that has happened with guests from Airbnb. I wish they would at least let me know they decided to make other plans rather than keep me hanging. All three are new to Airbnb and I don’t think understand the whole concept yet. I’ll see how this plays out. The two that booked and confirmed didn’t have special requests like these three did. Maybe that is a clue for me.
Cleaned the upstairs guest bedroom this morning. Hand mopped the floors and washed down the woodwork. Moved two chairs from the great room up and put in the room. Makes it look more homey. Realized today I need to get some art work for the walls. I had intentionally left them blank when it was a retreat center but now that it is an Airbnb I need to put something up.
The girl who wanted to come last night wanted a private space where she and her friend could have a glass of wine and talk privately. I moved two chairs and an end table into my energy treatment room. Makes for a nice, private intimate space. I moved an end table from the living room last night to make do. Next time I go shopping I will look for one to put in there and will keep it set up like that. I don’t use my treatment table very often. This makes that room much more useable for my guests.
Need to finish cleaning the guest bathroom upstairs and then those rooms will be ready in case someone wants to stay with little notice. With Kathy and her friend downstairs I think I will use that room to have guests stay in if anyone wants to stay before Kathy’s friend leaves. Glad I have lots of options in this big house.
What a glorious spring day. Mother Nature decided to tease us with a nice day before she brings in snow for tomorrow. Gotta love Kansas in the Spring time!
The friend that was going to come today postponed her visit until next week. Since I have a couple of busy days coming up it is nice to get an unexpected empty space day for today. Going to KC tomorrow unless I chicken out due to the snow coming in. I can always stay with Nicole overnight if I get caught in the bad weather in KC.
Adapting to having housemates again. Nice to have the company but I forget someone else is here and when I heard a door open early this morning I got a bit nervous for a moment until I remembered.
Feeling more productive today and taking advantage of it to get some cleaning done. Would like to get another room or two cleaned this afternoon but I’ll see if the urge continues or not. I might go out and take a walk and enjoy this rare spring day.
Grateful Kathy and Nicole both made it home safely, grateful I got another two rooms deep cleaned, and grateful I figured out a use for the treatment room that will allow that beautiful space to be used more.
