Lease signed. Bond paid. Automatic rent payments set up. Countdown to key aquisition: 9 days
16 minute commute to work, which is the main reason I leave home. Most everything else will be a similar distance or closer. I will be much closer to cows and forests.
I do under the line, but stop when I get to the right wing crazies. I have numbered every box before when that was still required, and trying to rank those parties by degrees of fascism is definitely a challenge. I'm very happy to be able to stop at 12.
More good news on the rental front: the agent takes direct deposit rather than insisting on you using an app that stops you from automating the payments unless you pay extra fees.
And I'm moving just in time for winter. Into the suburb of Winter Valley. โ๏ธ๐ง๐ฅถ
The garage connected to the house will also be very good for that, less ice scraping from the windshield.
Alleged mushroom lady.
I have been approved for a home! I shall not after all be homeless.
It is in a new estate, so comes with the standard building noises during the day I have become used to, but should not have the regular demolition sounds. There is a dishwasher. There is heating. There is cooling. There is a walk in pantry and double glazing! Now I have to order a dog door insert for Mr Woof, organise the removalists, and figure out what goes where.
I guess this means I'm officially no longer a Melbournian, I am an official Ballaratian. Or is it a Ballaratbag?
I just helped out an excitable dog by the name of Sadie, who had gotten outside without authorisation and didn't know how to get back in. Fortunately her people were home. I now smell slightly of wet dog and have a few paw prints on my jeans.
How about now?
Good Morning!
Coincidence. They're not that advanced.
I got a text today too, and I was no where near a voting place. Unless they are so advanced they could tell I opened my postal vote envelope I think it's safe to say they are just spamming everyone.
8 rental inspections booked this week. I've got a couple more with queries in as times are not listed. It's getting very hard to keep track of everything. My initial spreadsheet idea didn't work out, I'm going with the advanced scraps of paper approach instead. Allows for shuffling and throwing in the bin as required.
Catfish's kebab looks great, I'll have one of those too please.
