The weather in Lethbridge has been vacillating between cold and damp and hot and dry since I got here in April. Today has been one of the scorchers! I didn’t have any transcription to do (which was fine after the weekend marathon I just had!) so I took an easy morning, did a flier route, then headed to work in the afternoon.

So far, the job is great and is making me very glad I didn’t settle. Today was all about rent collection, writing out receipts, and filling in spreadsheets. I love bookkeeping! I was also sent off to show a gentleman an apartment! I’m doing more training tomorrow, and then Thursday I’ll be spending the day at ‘my’ apartment building with one of the company owners. Friday is Canada Day so I’m off, but Saturday I will be collecting rent. Well, I haven’t been told in as many words that I’m working Saturday, but it’s really a given since the offices are closed on Friday. I love the mix of tasks. I came in a 1:15 today and the next thing I knew it was 4:30. I love it when time flies like that!

All is good in Raeland this week and I’m hoping to get back to my destriping project now that I seem to be easing out of survival mode. As my friend Croft says, life is good!
