I don't think I understand the hotel question. How do you stop housekeeping from coming in?
Leave the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

Also, I've realized why I was so immediately fond of the lead actress! She looks like my cousin Robin (second cousin or somesuch, she was my first babysitter when she was in college.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
IT LITERALLY MAKES ME CRY EVERY WEEK. (The midwives, I mean.)

When you stay in a hotel for more than 1 day, how often do you allow housekeeping to clean your room?
I let them in every day to do stuff like empty the garbage and resupply toilet paper and make the bed, but I don't have them change towels or sheets.
If I'm staying with more than one person, we tend to change out towels more frequently because all hotel towels look alike and there are never enough places to dry them.

Our lemon tree broke last week. A large branch became too laden and cracked. Now I'm scrambling to use up lemons. I just preserved several, but still have probably 10 lbs of lemons to go.
I think I'll just take them to work and let others take them if they wish. My hands hurt from the lemon juice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why would you not let housekeeping in every day? I've never thought about that--they come in however often the hotel says--that's usually at least once a day, more if you're in a mint on the pillow place.
I rarely stay anywhere long enough that I give the hand signal for new towels, but cleaning, making beds, etc? It would never occur to me to reduce it, unless there was some reason I wanted them not in the whole time--but even then, it's not much of a security ploy--I figure that the institution has access to my room any time I'm not there.
Great. Gotta drop my laptop off to be serviced for, like, A DAY. I don't look forward to the separation, but then again--what is my damage? I spent all day shutting down devices that checked my email--I had to turn it off in four different places. The internet isn't going anywhere, just the one devices.
