Being more than 30KM from the nearest gas station, I didn&#8217;t want to worry about getting stuck! Mondays are usually a slow day for me, so I headed into Assinboia for gas and a few groceries to check out the grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I am not impressed. They didn&#8217;t have a number of items I consider to be pantry staples, like cocoa. Prices were okay, though. I will have to do a Walmart run every few months after all.<\/p>\n<p>Assiniboia felt FAR, but it&#8217;s really not. It take about 20 minutes to get there. There&#8217;s just a lot of big open country between the village and the town.<\/p>\n<p>I think that once I get internet at home, I&#8217;ll feel more settled and okay with being so far out that going to Assinboia more than once or twice a week would be excessive.<\/p>\n<p>The wonderful <a href=\"http:\/\/andybaird.com\">Andy Baird<\/a> helped me figure out what I need to get online at home. It&#8217;s all available on Amazon, but none of it is shippable to Canada. I normally get around that by shipping to my friend in VA at no charge and then paying her to ship out to me. I decided to buy through Future Shop and have shipped here, which should be a little faster, although they say 10 to 25 days (!!!). It was also $180 out of pocket (OUCH). I did think about just driving up to Regina and getting what I need today, but then I would have had to add the gas expense as well. I&#8217;ll post details once I&#8217;m up and running. *all appendages crossed*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was running low on gas this morning.
