Ugh, I’ve been neglecting this blog again. My bad. We’ve been fairly busy, with one thing and another. One of the units we put an offer on fell through, and there have been a few dramas with finance for the other. We should know by next Friday if it’s all okay to go ahead. Fingers crossed!
My fantastic boss leaves in a few weeks, so that’s been really sad. I’ve so enjoyed working with her, she’s a great person as well as a great boss. She’s actually suggested I come to work at her organisation. I’m considering it. I wouldn’t be reporting to her, but the work itself would be great, really interesting and varied, and the people I’d be working with are apparently good too, which of course makes a huge difference. So yes, that’s one option to get away from my ‘proper’ boss, who will be returning shortly.
Speaking of work, SO is away in the country for a few days. It’s good and it’s bad. I do like having the place to myself at night, so I can just veg out and do nothing, and not feel guilty about not making dinner (or making it just in time for the 10pm news). But I don’t sleep so well without him around, and I worry about him. He’s had to fly in a light plane, as well, which he hates. The good news is, he got there okay, now he just needs to get home again. I’m sure he will, but I hate to think of him alone in his hotel room and stressing about the flight home. Poor love.
That said, I’ve already cleaned up heaps, so the place is nice and organised, and I even have dinner sorted out - leftover spaghetti bolognese. Yum! All I have to do is zap it. Even I can manage that. Plus, what does a girl without a man in her 30s do? Catches up with her gay friends, of course! I’m meeting K tomorrow for a coffee. We actually work together but in different areas, so we don’t get a chance to really talk properly. We normally have a coffee about once or twice a fortnight. He’s recently fallen in love and so there’s lots to catch up on at the moment.
Things have generally been good. We’ve got new tenants for one of our units, so that’s great. The old ones move out this Saturday, and the new ones move in on Sunday, so we’ll be flat out cleaning everything in between. Luckily we like a challenge.
Other tenancies are ongoing so that’s no hassle to us.
Yawn…. I think it’s time to get my dinner in the microwave. Hungry.

Fingers crossed for you about the units. And poor SO, those light planes make me feel really sick, like flying in a baked bean tin! Hope you enjoy your spag bol
