My guest arrived right on time last night at 5:00. He is a very quiet, polite young man. Haven’t heard or seen him much. I was up when he left this morning for his first day at his new job at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. He wasn’t sure when he would get back this evening.
I joined Kathy’s walking group this morning and walked about 2 1/2 miles from Cottonwood Falls into Strong City and back to Cottonwood Falls. Felt good to get out and walk. My heart behaved itself this morning and didn’t get too fast while I was walking. It wasn’t too hot out this morning but if I keep walking I need to get some shorts to walk in. I wore my jeans today and they are too hot. The shorts I have from the training I did to walk the Camino are way too big for me.
I went into Emporia after the walk and ordered a queen bed. I got a frame for it instead of a head-board and foot-board. If I don’t like it without the head board I can order that at a later time. They are going to deliver it tomorrow afternoon and take the broken twin bed frame back with them to fix.
Decided to put the queen bed in the bedroom upstairs. I have several guests coming that are staying for several days or up to a week and both sets of guests that are coming wanted twin beds. If I put the queen upstairs I can have the booked guests stay downstairs. May end up playing bed shuffle later but that is what I will start with. I ordered a mattress cover, sheets, blankets and bedspread on-line this morning. They should arrive by Thursday so I can get them washed up and the bed made up before my guests arrive Friday afternoon.
I decided to hold on to the twin beds for a bit and see how the queen works out. I think there is room to set up a twin in the same room with the queen if that would be needed. I have the space to store them so might as well hold on to them and make sure I won’t need them.
Went to the Doctor’s office and had my blood drawn for my thyroid blood tests. The lab was busy so had to wait for about 20 minutes for them to call me back.
Found the printer cartridge I needed at Staples. Glad I wrote down the model number in Notes on my phone as I couldn’t remember what I needed.
Picked up groceries and then headed home. Glad to get home before it gets too hot out. I am sleepy this afternoon so may go take a nap. I woke up at 5:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. If I don’t take a nap I will want to go to bed before 7:00 tonight. I want to stay up until at least 9:00 so I can watch the full moon rise.
I have been doing some embroidery work. If I do it too long at a time without taking a break it takes my eyes a long time to be able to see in the distance clearly. May need to set a timer so I remember to take a break while I am sewing. Making another set of tea towels. I am out of sets of them finally and like to have them on hand for wedding presents.
Need to finish making up the second bedroom downstairs. The guest had slept on top of the bed instead of on the sheets so had to wash the bedspread. It is clean and ready to be made up. Have until Friday to do it so no rush.
Feels so good to be able to sit and “be” this afternoon. Haven’t done enough of that lately! Still feeling a bit drained from my trip. Wasn’t good planning on my part to allow guests to come over the weekend before I had time to fully recover. I keep forgetting to book off time for myself on my Airbnb calendar. So far after June 11 I don’t have any more guests coming until July 8.
Grateful for how easy it was to get a new bed delivered, grateful for Amazon and how easy it is to order what I need without having to go shopping, and grateful for quiet guests who don’t have any requests or needs.
