must be the end of the season. DH and I were snapping at each other yesterday for no good reason except we're both out of patience. We realized it and laughed. But we are looking forward to our "day off." Monday, we have no reservations. We do have 6 check outs. So we will do breakfast for a full house, check outs, cleaning..... But starting around 2 PM, we are FREE.
We'll likely take a nap but we are talking about golf. I'll let you know. :) Dinner out without a doubt!!!!!
 
Poppa & I may be headed your way tomorrow. No one checking in, hopefully we can trust the folks who will be here.
 
Enjoy the day. Those days are to be treasured and create happy memories for "down the road"
 
Same situation here. We're snapping at each other, little patience and just really need a day off. Would love to just have a morning to sleep in. Not going to happen though until we leave on vacation October 29th. For the first time in 15 years, we're taking a month off and traveling. Can't wait!

Looking at my schedule... I don't even have a weekend off until the middle of November.

We'll be very active during that time since it's a trip of a lifetime. We're going on safari! I'll need a vacation from my vacation.

Have a wonderful time!! We are going opposite. A week at a resort. Pool, food, drink, repeat.
 
It does get you that way.
We've got a pretty busy Sept. and the bookings are still coming in, got 2/3 rooms empty tomorrow but that may change and then pretty full till the end of the month.
After that it's a trip to London early Oct, Glasgow mid Oct, Mexico early Nov, Greece early Dec. So got to earn those pennies now to pay for all the time away.
 
There's nothing like time off. We worked a little too long this year, but it did allow us to save up and travel more now. Have a great break.
 
I will stick this in here rather than start a new thread. I know tired right now. My mom died three weeks ago on a full weekend. (I thought for sure she was holding out for Columbus Day weekend as we could not keep a reservation for that weekend to save our lives. Yes, this is innkeeper humor.)
I lined up 3 of our local innkeeping friends (yes, the competition!) to come in and help Gomez while I bolted for home. The day after mom died, dad ended up in the ER with pneumonia, exhaustion and dehydration. He was there for a week. He missed the funeral and everything associated with it.
I've been back and forth for 3 weeks now making sure he's ok. He has a PT coming in, visiting nurse, etc. He went from being fully in charge of everything (driving, shopping, cleaning the house, fixing meals, laundry, 100% caring for mom) to not being able to walk up the stairs in the house, drive anywhere or do a lot of the tasks he was doing single-handedly such a short time ago.
Of course, this is our second busy season right now so I'm dealing with mom's death and dad's sickness by not dealing with either.
Gomez drove down for the funeral (12 hours round trip) and then right back home to greet guests. Some of our guests showed up for the funeral. Amazing people we know thru this biz!
Anyhoo. I'm tired in so many ways right now. Holding it together until Nov when I can fall apart. But, actually, I'm apparently much hardier than I thought I was. We handled everything with Irish humor and, hopefully, a little grace. Other than my wailing like a banshee, mom had a quiet, dignified send off. One she would have been proud of (again, other than the banshee thing).

My condolences.
I too know tired. I finally managed to go to the hospital for my blood test only to look at the date the doctor requested it... August 17th. I've put my health on hold for the business.

That's a lot to handle. Hang in there. November will be here soon.
 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even if for a little while. So sorry Mort to hear of your mom's passing.

Our condolences to you and Gomez. May God comfort you and help you during this time. Sometimes being busy is good....sometimes not.

Dad was now "permitted" to give in, just as you are holding on until November. We hang in to do what is needed/expected. Use November to get YOU together - you will need it in the future.
There was a couple in town, both in there 90s and married for almost 70 years. He had dementia. They were finally able to get him into the Veterans Nursing Home - one month later she died. She got him settled and taken care of before she would go.
Your Dad can now concentrate on getting himself back to health. He did his duty to his Love.

So sorry to hear about your mom Mort... just keep thinking maybe 3 more weeks of nonstop nonsense...
Generic, I too, finally had blood work done which I should have had done mid-August for what ails me. Was shocked to discover that I hadn't had an annual exam or testing since 2012!
