The island
lighter:
Not sorted. Yet.

I've been so very careful with the island keys.
So careful.
So much work color coding, making copies, taking pictures to document old and new locks.
This is the first cottage key I can't put my hands on.
An entire set, one of only 3, was stolen in Miami, but mailed back, whew.
So just this one key. And it's not just a key. The person who booked the property paid a $50.00 lost key fee that's supposed to discourage loss.
It's the door opening up to plausible deniability creating this tightness in my chest. The finger pointing possibilities weren't there before.
I trust the housekeeper completely. Never a bobble from her. I make sure she's taken care of.
So.....nothing left but acceptance and an improved check in method.

I'm on top of key return now.
I'll eventually replace entry lock with a lock with code.
Renters all seem happy.
Housekeeper doing stellar job. Guests finding their way without problems....even at night, in the rain.
It's rainy season....weather reports are always wet. I worry, but the sun and clouds always take turns ime. I can't control the weather, in any case.

I'm glad you got it all sorted out, Lighter. Very difficult when you aren't actually there to sort things (especially as 'island time' seems to be different!). I'm glad you found a way to make it easier next time xx

Guest checking out this morning was perfect guest. Left big tip for amazing housekeeper. Cottage very tidy and clean. Key on counter, with text showing where.
One problem...a new roof leak. And maybe a hurricane.
