Attention Fair Readers, I have an announcement to make. I am now a free woman. I am no longer being kept and am living on my own. Well, not precisely on my own. I am living in Calgary with three roommates (male roommates) and it is FABULOUS. I have come to the conclusion that it is the fool who chains himself to a single person for the entirety of his life.

Of course, this new-found freedom is coming with a price, the price of having to leave my poor Claire Dog behind, the price of coming out of retirement, and having to work for the first time in five years, the price of seeing shoes I want and not being able to buy them, the price of not being able to say, "I need some money." and having it magically appear in my hand in the form of crisp hundred dollar bills. But if this is the cost of freedom, I will gladly pay the tab and leave a generous tip (provided that I actually get a job).

This new-found freedom is advantageous in other ways as well. In the last month, I have been able to do things I've wanted to do for twelve years, but for one reason or another I couldn't. And I love doing these things.

So wish me luck on this new adventure and keep your fingers crossed that I will find a job that's not in WalMart or Tim Horton's (although I may have an in there...) and I will keep you informed of all the antics that I get into.
