One of my guests last night had his wife and daughter come see him. They ended up spending the night. Both were delightful guests. It was nice they could see where their husband/dad is staying during the week.
I left for KC this morning before they came upstairs. I went to Kohl’s to do some clothes shopping. Their sizes run big! I tried on a dress in a size small and it was too big for me. I am not that small! Ended up with one dress, a skirt and some tops. Went to Hy-Vee for some sheep’s cheese and diced beets.
Met my two dear friends for lunch. We ate at YaYa’s Bistro. I had grilled veggies with a piece of salmon on top. Yummy and on plan. We had a wonderful visit as always. How I love these two friends. So good to be able to have a deep conversation with two people who “get” me on many levels.
After lunch I picked Nicole up and we went to Victoria’s Secret so I could get fitted for new bras. I am two inches smaller around and 2 cups sizes smaller. My shirts look better with the new bras on.
We went to Costco and picked up a few things. I found a couple more shirts and two pair of trail pants for our trip to Australia and New Zealand. I like the prices they have on their clothes. I tried on a size small down vest but it was too big.
Took Nicole home after Costco and I headed for the hills. Dodged several thunderstorms on the way home. It was fun to watch the clouds that were thankfully in the distance. I was listening to the radio on the way home and the emergency alert kept coming on with different severe thunderstorm warnings in the area.
Another dear friend came over after I got home this evening and brought me a birthday present! I have the bestest friends! She is going to be gone next week on my birthday so dropped a gift off today. That makes the second birthday gift I have gotten already! I am a lucky lady.
Had a conversation with my guests tonight about guns. We have agreed that there will be times when I lock their bedroom doors if others come over. That way no one will accidentally stumble across a gun. I showed them where I keep the room keys in case I’m not home when they come in. That feels like a good compromise to me right now. I may change my mind later but for now it feels right. I shared with them my total ignorance about guns. One of them is a trained gun instructor and he offered to give me lessons if I would like them. Not sure I am ready for that and he seemed to understand that but I will leave that possibility open. It would probably be good for me to have a healthier relationship with guns and at least know how to pick one up and handle it.
Tomorrow morning I will need to flip a room as I have two new guests coming in and staying until Sunday morning. They don’t plan to be here until after 4:00 so should have plenty of time to get the room cleaned and bedding washed. I will have to flip the room again Sunday as I have another new guest coming in that is staying for two weeks. I’ll have a full house again next week Monday through Friday.
Grateful for the shopping that I was able to get done today, grateful for my dear friends, and grateful for missing the severe weather on the drive home.
