We don't have a guest bed, much to the annoyance of my family. We *do* have a futon as our couch. So, anyone who really needs to stay with us, gets to sleep on a futon in the living room. This serves to limit the duration of their stay nicely! I too don't do well with people in my space. I've never really had a helpful house guest - most of them will yell for me every time they want a glass of water, not lend a hand with dinner in any way, etc.

I guess I've been lucky. I love having guests, but I guess because I've mostly had good ones, and not too often.

I'm not a fan of houseguests either; I like my routine, and I always stressed out over meals, house cleaning, what to do with them during the day, TV preferences, ETC!
Being a traveling nomad is perfect...I no longer have a place for guests. I know it disappoints our parents not to be able to visit us, but we visit them, and they always seem thrilled to have us visit. Works out well all around.

I've had enough, and tomorrow I am escaping to my house in VT where DH has been all week (he is gutting that house). Tonight I went out for a ride and was asked before I left what time I would be home... Sigh. Time to get back to my own routine. Nice to see them come, but really nice to see them go
(and yes, I really do love them!).

Sweetie, I know you mean well, but...tenting your fingers and hissing "Exxxcccellent" like Mr Burns is NOT the same as saying, "thank you".

You know, life could be worse. It's been better on occasion, it's been so effing hard many times. But today was a good day overall. Yeah, a good day.
