The Many Stages of Landlord Grief

These are actual statements I made today as we returned to our rental property after a busy season:

1) Oh, it doesn’t look too bad.

2) Ewww, what is dripping off the cabinet?

3) Where did they put the _____? (a guessing game that can last for days)

4) Aww, look at the sweet notes in our guest book.

5) Ugh, did they leave ANY sand at the beach?

6) Purple sequins from a kid’s craft project are hard to vaccuum!

7) Is that chocolate?  I’m going with yes, hopefully that’s just chocolate on the rug.

After a few days of cleaning and organizing, we will enjoy our time here, and mentally prepare for the next round of renters 😎

P.S. Day two of cleaning and mumbling my frustrations.  These treasures were found under the beds in the “kids” room!
