Went into Emporia this morning to get my tires rotated. I timed it perfectly at the tire store as I was only there five minutes. Quick service today!
Went to the shoe store and got a pair of sandals to take to Australia. I also got a pair of Birkenstock low boots for everyday use this winter. It is fun to buy cute shoes now that my feet don’t require I only wear SAS shoes. Still need to get a pair of slip on lined slippers of some sort to wear around the house for the winter. I found a pair in the LL Bean catalog I may order – concerned if they are wide enough and I hate returning on-line stuff.
One of my long-term guests checked out early this week as her classes were cancelled for Friday. I have her sheets washed so need to get her bed made and her room cleaned. No rush as she won’t be back until Monday. I do have two guests coming in Sunday afternoon so will need to get a room cleaned for them when I get home Saturday evening. I will put them in Kathy’s old room. Kathy cleaned her room yesterday so I shouldn’t have much to do to get it ready for the guests.
Haven’t heard yet when one of the long-term guests is leaving for good. He is to be transferred to a different work site soon but he hasn’t found out when yet. When he leaves I will transfer the student to the room down the hall and keep the other two rooms that has a bathroom between them for my Airbnb guests.
While I was in town I picked up veggies to take to KC to oven roast for the pot luck dinner we are having Friday evening. I will make a meat loaf and take it to bake too. I will have the veggies all cut up and the meat loaf in a pan so all I will need to do is throw them in the oven. That way I will have what I need to eat that night. Both things are easy to throw in the oven and then serve. I hate to ask my hostess to bake them though as when you are hosting the last thing you need is to have a guest cooking at the last-minute. I was going to cook the stuff at Nicole’s house until I remembered her oven is broken.
Remembered to transfer funds to pay for the new rental property I am closing on October 1. My business partner called yesterday to tell me the sellers agreed to my request and we are good to go. I do need to call the bank back today as I’m not sure they handled the transfer correctly and I am on a tight deadline as I need the funds available next Monday for close. Hopefully the person did it correctly but it doesn’t appear like she did on my account statement. This is the one disadvantage to using an exclusive on-line bank – I can’t just go in the bank and get a cashier’s check directly from them. I”m sure it will all work out OK – it usually does.
Nothing new in the dating world. I sent a few messages to several different guys – most haven’t been read yet. I can’t tell if accounts are new and used or not. Three have read my message but so far have chosen not to reply. I have had several messages from people I wasn’t interested in and just block them and haven’t replied either. Not sure city guys are interested in someone who lives in the country. Not many country guys on the site!
I am getting a clearer picture in my head as to what I am looking for. But I do get tired of window shopping! I keep telling myself not to settle for just anyone. I need to stay patient and if it is meant to be the right guy will come forward. I’m really not in a hurry to find someone.
Nothing I need to get done the rest of the day. May take a nap as I didn’t sleep very good again last night. It sure was nice and cool during the night – love nights when the room gets cool with the windows open. It was too windy to walk last night.
There was a beautiful sunrise this morning. I think fall time has the prettiest sunrises and sunsets of the year. Last night the sunset was pretty spectacular too. Mother Nature sure knows how to paint!
Feeling more grounded and centered today than I have been. Back into being the observer of my life and not so emotionally attached to the outcomes. I like this space – when I can find it life feels like it has more grace and ease to it. Don’t seem to be able to stay here for long but am grateful for when it shows up for however long it lasts.
Grateful for the beautiful art work of Mother Nature, grateful for foot surgery that was a success, and grateful for this space I find myself in today – may it continue to be available to me and may I live my life with grace and ease.
