This is the root of many problems.
Like, for instance, the fact that for the third time I'm going to have to look through various airlines for their cheapest flights. Or that I was this close to buying Preludes and Nocturnes (Sandman #1) but considered the price ($30.95) exhorbitant*. Or that, apparently, dad's gotten a grant, loan or charity, call it what you will, from superior beings to pay, in part, the rent.
Not that anyone tells me these things, so details may be fuzzy.
On another note, I've filled in one suitcase (though I'm sure I can squeeze more stuff in there). I used a "Space Bag" (using a vacuum to suck out all the air) to pack the duvet. Yes, I'm taking a duvet. And dental floss, amongst other products, because they're expensive across the pond. Dental floss, for e.g., can only be bought in a pharmacy, not the European version of Jean Coutu or Pharmaprix.
So I figure I'll search for prices again, have lunch, go to the gym and then shimmy off downtown to investigate prices and availabilities. My luck? By the time I'm all exercised and, possibly, showered, stores are closed. For this reason I've put the alarm on for tomorrow.
* Despite the fact that dad's got no problem buying crap DVDs buy the dozen.
