It’s taken four days but I’m finally starting to settle into a new working at home routine.
Today’s day was:
6:30am - woke up, brush teeth, drink water
7am - do a 45min F45 workout, shower, eat breakfast, get changed
8:30am - start work
I set my alarm for an hour so that every hour I get up to achieve a mini-house task such as putting the indoor plants outside to get some rain water, mop up some hair on the floor, check instagram etc. It makes the day go much faster. I might adopt this when I go back to working in an office.
I was meant to finish work at 4 but worked back because the CEO sent an email late in the afternoon encouraging staff to take leave. Actually he directed staff with excessive annual leave (over 30 days) and long service leave (more than 5 years) to take leave in the next 3 months. I don’t understand how this has to do with managing Covid-19. I think he is using the pandemic as a way to reduce Council’s liability. That’s unfair. I don’t want to be forced to take leave during a time when I’ve got nowhere to go. I’d like to take leave for when I actually need it.
The other major thing that happened in my sphere was that T and I attended a phone conference with a person involved in property investment. She made some suggestions for buying property which will help us get more equity. It’s enlightening to hear that we our combined income we can afford to buy two adjoining lots which can give us a lot of competitive advantage over other investors. My only concern is getting over the grandma hurdle. I also didn’t know that such a company exists. It’s such a great idea to take the research out of interstate property investment.
Our green produce is starting to run low. I actually cannot believe that we’re already running out. What the hell?! How did we go through so much vegetables? I’ve been looking at different fruit and vegetable delivery options. I even did a dummy Woolies shop. I’m thinking of teaming up with my parents (and to discourage them from leaving the house) to do a bigger shop each week so that everyone stays safe, gets their produce and save on delivery costs. I’m also thinking whether we should start dipping into our frozen veg now. I mean, Australia doesn’t have a food shortage crisis. It’s just going through a panic-buying crisis. So there should be food on the shelves right?
Lastly in the broader Australian context, last night our PM announced further restrictions. From midnight tonight, auction houses, real estate auctions and open house inspections will cease operation. I’m so glad that there is a potential leasee for Summer Hill. Though I’m worried that I haven’t heard anymore from the agent since his call on Monday. What if the leasee applicant found somewhere else? I will send a gift when the leasee is finalised.
WFH Day 4
Gratitude: finding a potential leasee before the shut down.
