I know this is easy to say, but just sit down and relax so that you still have enough energy to enjoy your time with your friend. She's coming to see YOU, not your house. (I know, I know...easier said than done). It's taken me almost all of my 60+ years to come to grips with this myself.

That's the way to have company! Now you can rest and wait.

Enjoy your company! She has been your best friend for so long, she doesn't care if your house is a mess, dirty, clean, or not. She is coming to see you ;)

Rest up so you have the energy to visit with her when she arrives,

She's going to be happy to see you. She's not going to pay attention to your house. Try to relax and take it easy . You've got to take care of you first!!

Enjoy your friend and their visit!!👍😃

Look to the heavens and thank God that it's only three days, not three weeks. I'm always looking for the bright side.

I just got back from seeing my best friend and I was not worried about his house, just him and his wife 👍. We ordered pizza one night and the next was KFC, real easy 😁. Hugh and I went out for light lunch and brought Tony his wife back meal as she is house bound from MS and was tickled 🤗. Hugh fixed light easy breakfast and my visit was great 👍. It was them I was there to see 😁😉🙏🙏🐾. Ken

You are a few steps ahead.

You realize how happy you are that they are coming and realize it's stressful.

Being she's your best friend she should understand what you are feeling.

If the house isn't perfect, so be it. You're together.

Let me know how it goes.
