The great purge

So the question is this... is it actually possible for me to leave Saskatoon with less than I arrived with? We will see I guess because I'm moving back to Edmonton next weekend. It feels so good to scale away possessions one doesn't need. There is a huge freedom in purging. I've realized this as my car has been broken into on two separate occasions during the past two weeks... the thieves can have my stuff if they are going to be that aggressive about it. It is just 'stuff' and will decay anyway.

The first break-in was odd. They took my license and registration, a bag of merchandise I was going to take back to Home Depot, a bag of Christian gospel tracts, and a few receipts. So I reported it, cancelled all my cards and accounts and got new ones. The second break- in was Friday night. It had to be more of a renegade operation. It looked as though some inebriate had ransacked my car. My overnight bag (I'm sleeping at my brother's place) was disheveled, my CD's were opened and strewn across the back seat, my seat belt was closed into the door with a stretch of it hanging from the bottom, and there were a few small papers littering the pavement outside my car. Nothing was stolen. Weird. I think that my 'automatic' lock isn't working properly.

In other news, not about me, my niece is very ill. She's only two and a half years old and just went through a mouth surgery to adjust a 'tongue tie' and now she can't eat and keep anything down - and appears to be having some serious allergic reaction to the medication she is on. She is so little and fragile and needs a lot of prayer right now.
