Going Doily/Gone Doily™ = adj. when an innkeeper has temporarily emotionally, physically and/or mentally gone off the deep end. Innkeeper may have gone/go wild, postal, but in a restrained, and yet upright manner.
example:
"Where is JB?" I wonder.
"She's gone doily!"™ comes the reply.
Why or how can an innkeeper "Go Doily"™?
Guests check out an hour late and have to be told to get out finally, there is a full house check in, have had guests for 30+ days solid, innkeeper goes to the room where there is spilled coffee or red wine all over the duvet/quilt/comforter. The phone never stops ringing and majority of the calls are not reservations but a waste of valuable time, the dust bunnies have saddled up and formed a posse...
What can you do to help/assist an innkeeper who has "Gone Doily"™? Nothing. Don't remind him/her "stuff happens", don't remind her tomorrow is another day. Don't remind her that he/she needs to take care of herself and get adequate sleep and proper nutrition. Just back away...slowly.
