Putting out my "landlady" sign

Absolutely reeling after this week. It included a software launch, working so that only one more round of proofreading remains before launching El Freelancio, setting up my guest room to be a furnished-room-for-rent early next year, three gym sessions, and a strenuous chair-dancing burlesque class. Plus, Northey wasn't well: she's perky again after what seemed like a few days of cat flu. On the fluffy side, I am also helping a friend put together her outfit for the premiere of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones next Monday.

All of the current burlesque students are going to a burlesque performance night at Bodega in Wellington next Thursday – this literally collects the best dancers for 1000 nautical miles around. You could come, too.

Some more about the furnished-room-for-rent. I’m giving this a try between January and April. Short-term flatmates have worked out well for me in the past. I don’t expect much interest until February, when the rental crunch hits. And in May, not only will my house get very cold, but two people I know will be looking for renters/flatmates, so if I have anyone I'll send them on to warmer climes.

Tonight I'll go home, do some sewing and laundry, and curl up into a tiny ball.
