Met my potential long-term boarder last night. He is very polite and nice. He joined my son-in-law, granddaughter and I for dinner. I ask my son-in-law to help me change a high ceiling light bulb and the guest ended up doing it with my son-in-laws help. They tied some yarn around the suction cup and were able to get the suction cup off easily. Think I might enjoy having a man around for a bit!. He is staying through Friday this week and will be back next week. He still doesn’t know how long the job will last so we will play it week to week for a bit until he knows. I took the queen room off the Airbnb site and will add it back on when he is gone. I think his staying here will be a good fit for me. Trusting within a week or two we will both be comfortable with each other and adjust to each other’s preferences.
Have four guests coming in this evening to stay one night. They plan on leaving early in the morning. They are traveling through and only need a place to stop and rest for the night. That will be an easy visit for me.
So far I don’t have anyone but my long-term guest for Wednesday night. Have at least one and possibly three guests coming Thursday night. All will be checking out Friday morning. Another guest comes in Friday night and is staying until Sunday. Two more are coming for one night Saturday. Another busy weekend on the prairie!
Joined Kathy’s walking group this morning for a three-mile walk. I could tell I haven’t been out walking for a bit but I was able to keep up and finish the walk without feeling out of breath. Felt good to get out and walk again.
My handyman came last night and brought out the baseboard to install. He is coming back over the weekend to stain it and to fix the leaking kitchen faucet. He does nice work and is easy to talk to. So grateful to my friend for hooking me up with him. Seems like little projects beyond my skill set pop up frequently around here and it is nice to have someone I trust I can call to come fix them.
The garage faucet that was dripping has stopped dripping. I still may have my handyman take a look at it. I don’t want it to break off in the winter time when the garage freezes.
So far the forecast is still for sunny skies Thursday evening so we should have a beautiful, clear view of the moon rising. Come if you can and join us. Think we will turn the drumming circle into drumming for rain. Last time we did that it worked.
A couple I met while I was serving a dinner at Pioneer Bluffs called me last night. They want to come stay for three nights the end of July. I referred them to the Airbnb site and they are to call me back if they have trouble getting signed up so they can book that way. They were really fun to talk to and I will enjoy seeing them again. They do have two dogs they want to bring with them. Trusting their dogs will behave better than the last dog a guest brought. If not I may not allow dogs again.
Need to give the bedrooms downstairs a lick and promise and make sure they are ready for the guests arriving later today. I will have all day tomorrow to flip the rooms to get them ready for guests arriving Thursday. I like when that happens as it gives me lots of time to get everything washed up and replaced.
My Cardiologist office called this morning to give me the results of the heart stress test. I called them back and had to leave a message so haven’t talked to them yet. I saw the written report and think I understood it to say they didn’t really find anything. It will be good to get verbal confirmation of that though. Still hoping he will take me off the blood thinner when he calls or at least at my visit in August.
We are in a thunderstorm watch for the next couple of hours. I keep checking radar hoping to see some red and yellow areas in my neck of the woods but so far it is all way southwest of me. Think all I am going to get is high humidity and even higher temperatures. It is like a steam bath outside today.
Listened to a live Facebook feed from one of teachers today. She put into words what I had experienced in Peru when I did the San Pedro Plant Medicine. Always helpful to understand what happens and why. It was a good thing and something she recommends all women need to do. Most women tend to hold stuff that is not theirs and we need to find ways to release it. I am really starting to tell how beneficial that trip was and am reaping the benefits of it in deeper ways each day.
Grateful for all the guests that are finding their way to my little corner on the prairie, grateful for my handyman and his repair skills, and grateful for all my teachers and their words of wisdom that help me make sense of how life is unfolding for me.
