My guest checked out around 10:00 this morning. She was a very pleasant guest. I enjoyed the short visit I had with her this morning. Found out she is 38 years old. She looked like she was in her early 20’s.
Drove to Manhattan today to visit some friends. I stopped at the Home Depot to look for oak quarter-round. I found some that is 1/2 x 3/4. I got enough of it in case it works. I think it will work better than the 1/4 x 1/2 I had found in Topeka. This is real oak and not polyurethane like the stuff I got in Topeka. The strips were 13’ long so had to drive with my passenger side window open so they could stick out. Stopped at the grocery store and found some cable ties to secure them a bit so they wouldn’t flap around in the wind on the way home. It worked and I got them home with no worries. If these pieces of quarter-round don’t work I give up. I did hear back from the lumber yard in KC I had asked about them and they told me they didn’t have the right knife to cut them for me. 6 trips to the Hardware so far and I will have at least one more to return one or the other pieces of quarter-round.
Had a nice visit with my friends. They are getting ready to go to Maine to their summer place. I’m going to try my best to get out there to see them for a few days this summer. I had planned on driving and taking a long road trip but with the trip coming up to Australia I decided I couldn’t do both. I may fly out for a few days now instead. I’ll see how booking go and if I can find five or six free days to get away.
Tomorrow I have absolutely nothing on my calendar. No one checks in or out. I will enjoy my day off! I do still need to clean the room the guest checked out of today as I haven’t gotten that done yet. More guests are arriving Friday so I will need to get ready for them. Have another 17 day stretch of non-stop guests coming up starting Friday.
I am tired tonight. I don’t think I will stay up long enough to watch for fireworks all around. I heard some pops and bangs while I was in Manhattan and have heard some since I got home this evening. Fireworks are not one of my favorite things.
If I can sleep tonight I want to get up early tomorrow and get out and mow the yard before it gets too hot. I have patches here and there that need mowed. I’ll probably end up mowing all of it. I haven’t mowed it for several weeks. Most of it is brown and dried up. Sure haven’t had to spend much money for mower gas this year so far.
I have a very quiet mind tonight. Thoughts come in and leave very quickly. Can’t hold on to much. I like when that happens!
Grateful for my dear friends I got to visit with today, grateful I may have found the quarter-round I have been looking for, and grateful for a completely empty space day on tap for tomorrow.
