Do you ever get so focused …
I am a detailed person. Each time a child started college I went into hyper detail, trying to check everything.
Even with all of that college in Canada was a challenge. Mostly along the $ line. It was hard to pay a bill.
They did not want my money, at least not in the US form, and sometimes not even through the credit card.
Credit card – 3% every time you say “charge-it”.

It was a learning experience. And I decided I needed to back off a bit on the detail and trying so hard.
So, I have not read everything, gotten on-line every day to read a little bit more.

Classes start Tuesday at UBC. Initially this had been thought to be Thursday, so we needed to bump up our timeline a bit.
So we needed to decide exactly which day to go.
Factors for consideration – 3 hour drive, border crossing, 3-day weekend in both countries, long walk on Saturday, party at dinner time on Sunday, need to open another CA bank account, …..
FRIDAY – Jay takes a vacation day, Carl is without kids, the banks in CA should be open, no conflicts.

PACK – PACK  – SORT – PACK – SORT – BUY – PACK …. Go through Ashlan’s paperwork for filing.

What’s this? A housing notice – Opening day is SATURDAY!
Thank god we found it before we were in CA staring at a locked up housing complex and trying to decide, Hotel?, Home and back tomorrow?, find Ashlan’s Vancouver friend and beg for assistance.
Disaster averted.

Bonus – since the packing is now underway in earnest, we will probably be ready to go.
And since Jay is walking on Saturday, Carl will be the only parental mover and we don’t need to try and fit three people into the car with all of the stuff.
