Hmm Guess They Were Right...
Mar. 18th, 2016 11:30 pm10:52pm: "They" being the sleep scientists in the article I read the other day about how to get the best out of your sleep seeing as I've been waking up feeling a bit sleepy lately. Anyway, their advice was to make sure to close all your curtains and make your room nice and dark, now unlike Mrs S I've never had a problem with the sun waking me up in the mornings. Apparently the light can still affect your sleep making it lighter and thus not as restful. So I gave it a go last night and I certainly feel like I got a better night's sleep! At least until I was woken up a bit earlier than usual by a phone call from Mrs S asking me if I could come ASAP.
So that's what I did, which was for the best because I was able to finish early and get to the apartment by a quarter to 12 to inspect it. It was quite small, but some of that probably had to do with the fact that the current tenants had just moved from a four bedroom house and had a lot of stuff in there. The bathroom is a very good size though with enough room for a washing machine, which is nice. Also it's not at the front of the complex after all, so it's quite quiet and the parking spot isn't too far from the apartment although it isn't undercover or anything.
Of course, I doubt I can afford it, but it was good to see what's on the market! Although I did find out that last year a special levy was placed on all the units to help repair some concrete cancer that had got into the balconies - $40,000! Holy Hell, I can't imagine people having that sort of money just lying around, which begs the question what happens if you can't pay it? If you have to pay it in installments they'll be interest to pay off too, which just sucks.
After that it was off to Avalon for the Info Booth which went quite well, although it looks like I might have to find somewhere else to park, the Librarian recommended the Woolworths parking lot next door which would work if I had a short shift, but I don't! In fact after getting a call in the afternoon almost all of my shifts will be about five hours and there's a 3 hour limit at the car park. I certainly don't want to get caught out by a parking inspector. Those guys are harsh.
But the good news is these extra hours are at casual rates so I won't be living hand to mouth while Mrs S is away, which is a big relief. :O)
And now, once again whilst Memes calls me, bed calls me more! Man, when I finally get onto those things the back log will be insane.
On a final note Plushy has returned to Russia, but he's still got the neck brace on, of course, which hardly looks like the most comfortable thing in the world. I was just thinking how annoying it would be to wear one of those, I turn and/or tilt my head constantly, and it looks almost impossible to read comfortably in that thing! Poor Plushy.
Right, definitely need to hit the hay!
Goodnight all!
