I had never before thought of the benefits of having only two hotel rooms on a floor until my stay at The Tides in South Beach, Miami. Obviously, significantly fewer people will be pressing the elevator button to your floor. Unless, of course, the other room is occupied by quindecaplets -- with spouses. Penthouse floors by nature invite pressing in hopes the elevator button works. Save yourself the trouble, it never does. Fear not, I always use finger protection.Hit.
Three verifiable things about me. One. I am an only child. The concept of sharing, therefore, is foreign to me. Two. I am a Virgo. The sign regarded as a perfectionist. Three. My mother raised me to be meticulously clean; compulsively tidy. According to my mother, "You have taken this clean thing way too far." I disagree. Apologies to my mother.
Nature or nurture? Who knows? Who cares? I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Nor would I label myself a Cleanaholic. Or a Germaphobe. My world though, is definitely a unique place. One where doors open magically. Hotel mattresses are pristine. And estheticians never double dip.
I live in this world without a bubble or a honeycomb mask. About 15 years ago I got tired of catching the flu du jour and became ever more so hygienically vigilant -- perhaps obsessively so.
