I guess I'm leaving

I paid $30 for my first Zip disk today. Man this city is expensive. I needed one to store all of my .doc, .php, and .jpg. Cos I'm going back to Canada. It hit me, when I was sitting there waiting to see if they could route my flight to Vancouver, that I'm leaving Sara. What a mess.
I found three cockroaches in - get this - our flatbed scanner. Inside the scanner. The fnck?
I wandered across the Harbour bridge after getting the tickets sorted. I wondered if it'd be my last time. So, far, I have:
-cancelled and settled the electricity account
-sent home some of my books
-sent home my papers (including my !$!@# $100 credit from Air Canada)
-told Ayers I'm leaving
-decided which clothes I'm keeping, and which I'm giving to charity
-given quite a few books to the Kirribilli neighbourhood association
-sent home money
-prepared a list of others I've got to contact (tomorrow)
-decided to toss a couple of my CD's
-discovered that I have outstanding 'super' contributions with Colonial!
I even found some receipts I'd misplaced
