Bureaucracy is alive and well...

Minimal progress to report today...

Sasktel spontaneously changed their service call to tomorrow instead of showing up today and didn't send us the memo...

An attempt to sort out getting the car insured locally resulted in a long list of required documents and DNA testing to prove we are worthy of being included in Saskatchewan bureaucracy...but Dexter got a candy AND a lollipop from the nice lady at the SGI office.

And the cherry on top...a mortgage payment was withdrawn from our bank account yesterday, for a mortgage we no longer have on a house we no longer own. Perfect.

Still, our stuff is arriving tomorrow and the tree in the driveway has been trimmed to allow it to roll up to the house.

Another minor coup was manhandling the golf cart (glamourous estate transportation) into the far, far corner of the garage to make room for our car. Sweet! Indoor parking. Necessary, given that our eastern car doesn't have a block heater.

Tomorrow's goal is to retrieve my sense of humour and find my touque.

Oh...and the snow has arrived! :)

  1. AS a transplanted westerner-to-easterner myself, I hugely appreciate your commentary. Can't quite tell who the road reports were coming from ... but sounds like your adventures have truly begun! Thanks so much for sharing. A great read!
