During the last few weeks in Mazatlan, I was making a mental list of all the things which had to be completed upon our arrival at home. In my mind it was going to take a long time to finish the chores. Here were are and most everything is already done, including some online shopping for new Keen's Men Sandals, and a little scanner designed expressly for digitizing old photographs. We went through the mail and completed the online BC Speculation and Vacancy Tax last night. They were supposed to be completed between January and the end of last month.
Returning to our apartment after being away really isn't too hard. We just flip on the power and arrange to have the Internet running on the day we arrive. Everything is easy to set up for our spring return. Our apartment is now like our little cacoon of readiness in downtown New Westminster.
We just had a roast chicken for dinner. We did our second order with instacart.ca. Rather than getting products from the Canadian Superstore, we ordered from our uptown Walmart. Our shopper was so helpful. The app makes it easy to message when the shopping is in progress. She showed us a packet of green beans and asked if it was an acceptable replacement item. It was. Andrea dropped things at our door a whole half hour before the end of the scheduled delivery window.
