At work we have had a sudden spate of leases -- both renewals and new applicants -- so that's nice.
On the downside, Horrible Tenant has become even worse, ( cut for an extra layer of obfuscation )
There's not a lot I can do about that slow-motion catastrophe, so I have spent the past couple days working on another key plan for one of our buildings. This building has four floors of apartments, and each floor has a different layout. There are not two single identical apartments in the entire building. So I have been using digital photographs of floor plans from the late 1980s, cleaning them up, tweaking for some modifications and updates that have happened in the past 30 years, and creating a nice final product that shows how all the apartments fit together. This is both extraordinarily tedious (especially because I am working in MS Paint due to corporate reluctance to shell out for an actual graphics program) and oddly satisfying, and has been eating a lot of my creative impulses. (Floor plan work and apartment staging/photos/videos both scratch a lot of my creative itches.)

In non-work news, yesterday I washed three (3) loads of laundry. I was going to wash a load of linens tonight, but it is pouring rain and I didn't want to schlep myself to the laundromat, let alone myself plus a bag of laundry, some detergent, and some dryer sheets.
Instead I have put away some of yesterday's clean clothes, and now I think I might go to bed early because I am once again absolutely exhausted. I suspect some of that is the weather, but some is probably also because I stayed up a little too late on Monday and Tuesday nights out of overdone relief at finally feeling better. *wry*
