Trip Prep

1. Cat care taken care of. Our lovely next door neighbor, who is a cat lady par excellence, and understands dealing with weird-ass cats, is happy to do it. Reminder to self: show her how to operate our Netflix and HBO Max accounts. 

2. Transportation to and from Midway taken care of. To - limo because it's too early to ask a friend to take us. From - a friend who's willing. Cheaper by half than our last trip transport, she said stingily.

3. Smart phones: mine unlocked, both of ours prepped for minimal international use (text/calls), plus plans to get SIM cards once we get to N.S.

4. One last call to Nova Scotia regarding its COVID-19 entry rules netted the welcome news that as of last week, meeting Canadian federal entry requirements is all that's necessary. I suspect this has to do with the newly installed Progressive Conservative provincial government. (Glad that N.S. still has a Progressive Conservative party, a uniquely Canadian conceit that I love. Certainly more than I love the Conservative Party of Canada. Pfui.)

5. COVID-19 test appointments reserved for Sept. 27. ArriveCAN app put on both our phones so that we can upload our vaccination proof and test results. 

6. My meds checked; I have enough for the trip, but do need to get one med renewed so I have some upon my return. BB needs to re-up a couple of his.

7. Visit w/Canadian attorney arranged by my brother, so that I can get a will done that handles my Canadian bank account. And Mac being Mac, he found an attorney who we grew up next door to. (Me: Tim H.? You mean Rev. H.'s kid?" Mac. "Yeah." Me, silently: I am not surprised.) Still to do: gather all the necessary information to make the appointment efficient.

Can you tell that this trip is EATING MY FUCKING HEAD?

But you've got it handled and you're going to have a marvelous time! ♥

Thanks - I wake up every morning with a list of to-do's in my head, and I figure I get about 2/3rds of them done, so I'm relatively efficient.
