This week has flown by so fast. After I was finished my appointments in Regina, I got a ride back to Saskatoon with a friend. Thankfully she was able to spend some of her time here helping me pack.

Since Thursday afternoon all I have mostly done has packed. There has been little to no procrastination. Quick someone take my temperature: I must be running a fever because I'm feeling efficient.

One mildly amusing story about packing:
Today Ky was helping me finish packing some odds and ends. I have a TV stand/book shelf from the 70s that you can take apart and put back together again. We couldn't figure out how to get the legs off since my dad took it apart and put it together again in my last move. I was on the phone with my dad as Ky worked on it. The instructions were to twist the legs then pull them out but he didn't entirely remember how to do it. We had to pull pretty hard but some of them eventually came. One of them was really stuck so I helped Ky pull the leg out. We pulled so hard a chunk of particle board came with it. This is the point where we realized we had been doing it wrong the whole time. After closer examination there is a screw to turn by each leg that releases it from the shelf. Ky and I managed to completely destroy it. I was not upset at all. I actually find the whole thing to be rather funny.
