How to review a "meh" guest you want back (yes, there's a bit more to it)

@dpfromva

I realize this is irrational, petty and a waste of mental energy on my part

No, @dpfromva!!! I had EXACTLY what you described back in Oct. (see link below)

I wish I could show you the text messages. They got on my nerves so bad I had to cancel them the day of their arrival. In fairness, it was primarily because I had an emergency.

BUT, if they had NOT been all that you described, I would have allowed them to stay. However, they were setting me up for misery and, I suspect, a major discount/free stay. I just couldn’t do the fam emergency and them at the same time.

Had to cancel same day stay

Set stage 1: I had a checkin at 3pm today. I was over there yesterday w/ a handyman tightening somethings up for a few hours. Thank you note is on the counter. Extra supplies added (see below). Apple Cider doughnuts in the car ready to drop off. Got a call yesterday - emergency surgery today for parent (although parent now wavering due to fear) - no details for privacy but it’s bad and must convince parent to proceed (working on that now). So, full plate this weekend and maybe emergency trip…
