08-13-22 Airbnb challenges
I got up at a reasonable time today and discovered that my guest had not actually checked out. His stuff was all still in the trailer and his food was in the fridge. The problem was that I had to clean and wash and remake for the guests arriving tonight. I texted him asking his intention and found out he was at work and asked if he could stay in my spare bed as he hadn’t made other arrangements after being asked to stay and work. By now it was after noon and I had mowed the lawn etc getting ready and got permission from him to move his stuff. I set up a bed for him in a crowded den and then made busy getting the rest ready. I borrowed the neighbour’s weed eater as mine wouldn’t start and got the yard tidied up. Next was cooking a decent meal as I was living on coffee only. I packed it up to take with me to the park where I was the DIC (director in charge) and Booth Director. It was an interesting evening with fewer people than usual but they really enjoyed the last band especially, Turtle Valley from Salmon Arm who had everyone up dancing. I left the site after 8 to check in my guests, two lovely young ladies, who came to the park first to enjoy for a bit. The night went long but was most enjoyable and I was surprised to get home and see that Sheldon wasn’t here yet. I began to wonder if I had once again misunderstood his plans when I got a text and then he pulled up. We had a good talk and agreed on a weekly rate for him to stay through until next Saturday morning. After that he is hoping to get an apartment with a co-worker. As nice as he is, sorting these things out and trusting he will pay next week is a lesson in trust… ah week, off to bed.
