I had company this past weekend, a cousin and her friend were taking a class in town and I offered them my bedroom to save the costs of hotel. Plus - I just enjoy being a hostess. When I first learned of their class and made my offer, our couch was used just for watching TV and playing with Beth's grandson; however as noted in an earlier posting, that is no longer the case since Beth's son Donny is habitating there. So some shuffling had to be done to accommodate the company.
My cousin Grace is a reflexologist, and her friend Sheila is a massage therapist, and as a thank you for our hospitality - we were both treated to free massages! What a treat! Made especially so because we didn't have to leave the house to get it. Imagine being done with a massage and not having to get in the car and drive home afterwards. I'd say my euphoria and relaxation lasted well into the next day! I've been getting my nails done at home for several years, but have now decided that I must find a regular massage therapist who will come to the house!
I can see now how someone could be a homebody. Technology means I can work at home, go to school from home, have groceries (and anything else you can think of) delivered, have a constant stream of news and current events. If doctors still routinely made house calls (I know there are some who do it on occasion because I work for them) - a person would never have to leave the house!
Luckily I enjoy seeing the world (and people) too much for it to happen to me. So I'll just sit back and say 'ahhhh' to my first (any maybe last) home massage!

What a treat! And, since you're a natural hostess, it probably wasn't that hard to have more people in your space. :)
Did you stick Donny in the basement while company was in town?
Donny went to his grandma's house (across town). What is funny to me is that she would never let him stay there if he asked, but she likes ME well enough to let him stay so I can keep my promise to my cousin!
