After two productive days I have had a lazy day today.  Not motivated to get anything done.  I slept in bits and pieces last night.  I was too hot for a bit and then was too cold.  It was too cold to get up and close the windows.  I had to turn the furnace back on this morning as it was only 60 in the house.  Burr!!!  Have had some sprinkles on the prairie today but no real rain.  It seems to have gone around me again.

The guy that came in last night was off to work before 8:00 this morning.  Three more guys came out about 11:00 to check-in.  They hauled in lots of stuff!  After they got unloaded they went back into Emporia.  They came back out here mid-afternoon and must be taking naps downstairs as I can’t hear them.  I think they are going back into Emporia this evening.  The next two coming let me know they will be here around 6:00.

The three that came today are calling me Miss Kay.  Makes me feel a bit old but I respect their manners.  They seem like nice young men and will be easy guests.

I got the light fixtures in the dining room and kitchen cleaned today.  I have to put a step stool on the kitchen tables and the kitchen bar to reach he light fixtures.  I always appreciate them when they are clean but forget to clean them very often.

I am fighting the urge to take a nap.  It is cloudy and cold outside and a nap sounds like a good thing to do.  I walked the trash down to the mailbox and took care of the chickens while I was out.  It is actually warmer outside then it looks.  I am missing the sunshine today though.

Cleaning the garage was on my to-do list today and I haven’t made it out there yet.  I still may get out there this evening but not looking good.  There is always tomorrow – right?  It is to be in the 70’s tomorrow and that sounds like better weather to clean a garage in.

I was looking at my Facebook page and noticed it showed single as my relationship status.  I decided to change it to In a Relationship.  I didn’t realize it would create a post and announce that to my friends.  Oh well, guess the cat is out of the bag now in a more public way than I anticipated.

I have some errands to run tomorrow.  I need to drop off recycling stuff, get tick medication for the dogs and cats, buy some chicken feed, drop off some bags at Goodwill or Salvation Army, and get some groceries.  I think all my guests will be out and about tomorrow so should have some free time to get my errands done.

Having trouble remembering I am leaving again for three weeks Monday.  Seems like I just got home from the trip east.  This year is flying by quickly.  I have most of my summer booked so it will go by quickly too.

Grateful for guests that come to enjoy the beauty of the prairie, grateful I can take a day and be lazy, and grateful to be in a relationship.
