At around 7am this morning I returned my Modo car to the 10th and Cambie parking lot, and then met my parents at my apartment. I taped shut my plant boxes, walked around my apartment one last time, took a few pictures, gathered my belongings and packed the van, headed to the airport for my flight to Saskatoon.
My flight left shortly before noon. I was in relatively good spirits, thankful that my parents took time to see me off. Again, as I said a few days ago, what a privilege to be surrounded by family in times like these.
Upon my arrival in Sasakatoon I rented a van, loaded it with my belongings, and headed to the Best Western. Much to my dismay, the base of 5 of the 9 planters that I brought along with me were broken into dozens of pieces. I shoul've taken the time to pack them better but "thought they'd be ok". Argh.
Late afternoon I set out on my search for a car. Before coming here, I did a good amount of research for buying a VW Jetta in Saskatchewan. I actually decided to fly into Saskatoon because this city has the most cars for sale.
I test drove a light blue 2008 diesel, with about 80,000 clicks. Lots of scratches in the exterior, but man, what a nice drive.
Tomorrow I'm going to the VW dealer, to check out some other options.
A new development on subletting my apartment: late yesterday, my friends Ruth and Marty contacted me regarding renting the place. After a few back and forth conversations with them and the landlord, we all came to agreement. Praise God! They will sublet my place for the next 2 years.
