still sick

Ugh.  I’ve been crook all weekend with this head cold, and I’m still feeling very wrong.  I think I may end up missing work again tomorrow, which means going back and getting another med cert, and shelling out another $55 for the privilege.  Oh well.  Thank God for sick leave.

One of our units is coming up for renting again.  The lovely couple currently in it are going back to Scotland, so we’re going to have to look for new tenants.  As the current ones are moving back home, they’ve offered us the majority of their stuff, so we can rent it out fully furnished.  We’ve taken a deep breath, and decided we’re going to give it a shot. Pros of renting fully furnished: better return.  Much better return. Cons: higher vacancy rates, and more stuff to have to replace (eg. broken plates, that kind of thing).  Anyway, we’re going to give it a go, and see how it turns out.

I advertised it yesterday as f/furn and equipped, and have already had two potential applicants get in touch, so that’s got to be a good sign.  On the strength of this, I even managed to pick some stuff up on sale.  I got some great bargains – two doona covers for $20 each, two sheet sets for $16 each, six towels for $5.50 each.  So that’s all very exciting.  I love a bargain. 

All the excitement of bargain hunting really wore me out, though.  After an hour of shopping, I came home and faceplanted on the couch.  Yep, back to bed for me.
