Had a slight change of plans yesterday. Got a last-minute booking for last night for a family that has two children. They didn’t get here until after 7:00 and then left to go eat dinner. By the time they came back it was shower and bed time. They left around 8:00 this morning. That was easy!
They had never stayed at an Airbnb before and ask me what they were to do. I told them to pretend they were at Grandma’s house. When the kids left this morning they ask me if they could call me Grandma! None of them wanted to leave but they are moving from MN to TX and needed to drive seven hours today. They might stay again as they will need to go back to MN a couple more times to complete the move.
Have the downstairs cleaned up already this morning. Just waiting on the three loads of laundry to get done so I can get the beds made up and towels put away. Then I will be ready for my guests that are coming in late afternoon. Two that are coming are a college student and his dad. The college student will only be here for one or two nights as he is moving into the dorm at Tabor College in Hillsboro. Dad is staying for five nights to make sure his son has what he needs and gets settled in. They are from Seattle, WA. My long-term boarder will be back late afternoon too.
I don’t have another guest free day until September 8! And that weekend is only free if my long-term boarder goes home that weekend. Oh my! Most of that time I am double-booked with additional guests besides my long-term boarder.
Got over 1/2 inch of rain last night. The wind blew hard for a bit. I heard water running and got up to see where it was coming from and found the back door had blown open. Luckily the wind hadn’t blown rain in. Every drop of rain helps so grateful for what we got. I am enjoying the cooler temperatures today. It is only going to be 89 for the high today. Back up into the 90’s for the rest of the week though. Still forecasting clear skies for the Perseid Meteor Shower this weekend.
Need to run into Emporia this morning and pick up a few groceries. I have to go in tomorrow for my Cardiologist appointment so may wait and get groceries then. I’m not out of anything I must have before then. I might check with Ellexia and see if she wants to come out for the day today or tomorrow. I haven’t seen her for over a week and haven’t seen Tagen for quite a while.
I’m going to go ahead and accept the roofing bids from the company that mailed the bids to me. I still haven’t heard from the other roofer. He won’t answer his phone and his voice mail box is full. I don’t like not being able to get hold of him easily. I’m ready for this project to be done with so I can cross it off my to-do list.
Sold my twin bed yesterday. Someone who reads my blog sent me a message about it and decided to buy it for her grandson. That was easy! They are picking it up this weekend. Yeah! Have my fingers crossed the refrigerator will go away this evening. Then I can cross two more things off my list. Love when that happens.
Another quiet mind type of day. Have enough energy to do what I need to get done today thank heavens. So far it has been an easy type of day. Trusting it will stay that way. I didn’t sleep very good last night and feel a bit tired today. I’ll see if I need a nap later or not.
Grateful for easy guests that felt like they were at Grandma’s house, grateful I have the twin bed sold, and grateful for the rain the prairie received last night.
