We checked in shortly between noon and 1:00 p.m. yesterday and we were handed our keys. "Wow", I thought, "this never happens". Well, it didn't happen. The apartment door was open and I quickly realized that the space hadn't yet been cleaned. The cleaning lady was eating a doughnut outside the next unit. She said she had dropped our cleaning job because an owner had arrived and that unit took priority. I can't see why, since we are paying customers and I had just put a big charge on our credit card. No matter. We dumped our things and went out for lunch and groceries.
I rather miss the beautiful apartment we had in Cocoa Beach, but this is fine too. Of course, I'm something of a fanatic and I find myself wanting to wash the dishes in the cupboard and clean everything with disinfectant, which I always do the first couple of days. I won't be able to resist refolding all the towels either ... and, as I re-read this paragraph, I wonder how crazy I really am.
It's morning now and I'm waiting on the deck for sunrise. On the point to my right, I recognize the little terrier from previous years, out for an early morning walk in the fresh air with his young mistress. No osprey nest this year -- they must finally have realized that the crows would never leave their nest alone. I'm sure the crows will find some other birds to torture today: the head crow is shrieking loudly, calling his gang to morning meeting.
All is pretty good in my world.
