The Cat’s Out of the Bag!

I woke up this morning to a work friend calling me at 7:30am on a Monday which is weird. I talk to this person all the time but not usually first thing in the morning unless something is wrong. But nothing was wrong.

Late last week, I posted in a couple of Bonaire groups trying to find a rental for us. It’s pretty much the only way to find a place there, that and a few real estate companies. One of the groups is a closed group that you have to request to join, the other is open and anyone can post there anytime. Right before she called I saw a few notifications that friends not on Bonaire or in these groups “liked” my post looking for a rental and I bet you can guess the topic of my friend’s call.

We’re not super active on social media. I post nature pics and belong to a bunch of fish geek groups and use it to find events. I thought only those in the groups would see the post in their feed. I still think that’s true of the one I requested to join but the other one must be a little looser.

We haven’t told anyone at work yet about our plans to move because it’s not the right time. We’ve got a decent number of balls in the air planning this move, any one of which we could drop. Only two people at work have seen it (so far) but we’ll have to keep posting in these groups if we hope to find a place. It’s not how I envisioned people finding out but I guess it really doesn’t matter.

Till next time…
