new digs, first day of work, crazy weather (again)

Now that Heather's sister's family is back from holiday, I've moved in to the studio apartment on Heather's property. Simple, clean-lined space with a queen size bed and full bathroom great commute to work--across the yard. Woke up to giant cracking thunder and torrential downpours which stopped and started every five minutes. Fleece pullover weather again, interspersed with sunny sandal moments. i put on rubber thongs for my bolt across the yard to Heather's office.
first day of work was today. felt good that i was able to contribute my knowledge of CRM systems in a useful way.
the apartment issue is looming, but a part of me knows (or hopes?) that something will happen organically to make it all work out. for example, someone will know someone who is looking for a roommate, etc. To help speed up the organicness of it all (ha!), I've made calls to the local Vipassana meditators and will physically go to the Iyengar yoga studios to see if there are signs up for anyone looking for a roommate. my initial thought was to have my own two bedroom apartment and furnish it myself, using one bedroom as a home office. Recently I've thought that a furnished one bedroom may be better and then find a serviced office space outside of the apartment from which to work. Most recently I've thought that a roommate situation could be good in terms of company and local connections. I'm interested in the upscale neighborhood of South Yarra, but at the same time would like to be near the areas with the best Iyengar yoga studios and my Vipassana group sits; those areas tend to be more crunchy and less upscale. Same issues I have with placing myself in society-- crunchy AND upscale. Why should that be such a difficult combination?
I'm zonked, so will meditate now and go to bed.

Cultural Quirk: all sandwich bread gets butter--even if you are going to add mustard, mayo, etc. same deal in the UK, but I had forgotten.
