Phew! What a whirlwind of a day yesterday. With a great deal of help from Roy, we got Iris settled into her dorm. We spent much of the day running around buying many of the things she'll need for her time there: a new computer (the lucky girl got a Mac Book - I'm envious!) and printer, storage bins for under her bed, all the little things like laundry basket and soap, toiletries, etc. She even has a little tv and dvd for her room....things someone had left on the curb but that work perfectly well.

Then it was off to Whitby to see Joe's family and pick up the rest of Iris' things: sheets, pillows, towels, etc. We got back to her residence at about 11:30 last night and I left her to get herself settled while Roy brought me back to his place to spend the night.

Exciting times for our Yukon girl. Her room mate had already moved in but wasn't around all yesterday, so she may or may not have met her last night. Today we'll see if we can pick up a final few things (although I'm not sure if any of the stores will be open, it being Labour Day) and then my duty will be done!
