I was at the Vo-Tech this morning at 8:00 to have my teeth cleaned. Anna did a great job and is so gentle and kind. I was done by 11:00 today. She has some openings and is looking for more clients. Cost is only $20 and they do cleanings on Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:00 am and I think 12:30 or 1:00 pm. It does take three hours but your teeth will be very clean when she is done. Send me a message and I will help you get in contact with her.
I was going to get groceries and run some errands but I didn’t have the energy for that and so I went straight home. I have to go back to town tomorrow afternoon for physical therapy at 2:00 so I will hopefully do my errands then.
The guests that came last night were a cute couple. They had come to KC for a wedding and had stayed over an extra day so they could come out to the prairie. Her mother had worked for some conservation organization that helped the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve get off the ground and the daughter wanted to see what her mother had helped make happen. I had to say hi and bye to them last night as they weren’t up before I had to leave and were going to be gone when I got back from my dental appointment. They went on the 11:00 bus tour to see the buffalo and were going to hike back to their car.
I cleaned a guest bedroom, bathroom and the downstairs hall way today. I didn’t get a room cleaned yesterday so had to make up for it today. Tomorrow I want to clean the upstairs library and upstairs guest bedroom. I am finding lots of dirt so this cleaning was overdue. Not sure how the house gets so dirty but it sure seems to do so.
Have another guest coming October 4 – 5. He is from Virginia and is coming out to ride his bike on gravel roads. His wife had to cancel coming due to a work conflict so he is coming by himself. I told him he will find lots of gravel roads at the end of my gravel driveway.
It feels good to be hosting guests again. Doing the Airbnb is so easy I rarely know the guests are here. I did block off most of November though as stairs are a challenge for me right after surgery.
My foot has been a bit cranky today but I didn’t put it back in the boot. I don’t think it approves of me hand mopping floors. I need to stretch it out one way or another and mopping floors stretches it a bit. I walked down the driveway and back up so I could take the trash can down. It is an almost 1/2 mile round trip. Need to get another 1/2 mile in today but doubt that is going to happen. At least I can report to the PT guy that I walked a solid mile without stopping earlier this week.
I didn’t sleep very good last night so I am tired tonight. I have something in my head that I am trying to figure out and I can’t seem to let it go. I think I have it figured out but can’t hold on to the solution. Hate when that happens! It will sort itself out soon I am sure.
My house feels big and lonely this evening. It will be good to have Kathy home for a bit and for Jim to come back for the weekend. Life is more fun when I share it with others.
Grateful for Anna and the great job she did cleaning my teeth, grateful for Airbnb guests, and grateful three more areas of the house are detailed cleaned.
