I missed blogging on Canada Day...I missed Canada Day. I had intended to hit the parade again this year and maybe stand in line for a few hours to get some cotton candy, but I didn't. I fell asleep and missed the parade.

I have no idea where I will be spending my next Canada Day...that's the fun of this next adventure. There have been a few negative comments from folks up here about my leaving...but it is the right time and the right decision for me. While I don't know where I am going yet, I'm not concerned. I'm young,(ish), I'm adventuress,(is that a word?) and I can be happy anywhere. Life should be about trying new things and living in new places. Every time I move I learn something about the people and places I live and about myself.

I'm looking forward to the next challenge in my life...maybe this time how to survive life in a city of millions, instead of hundreds. That isn't a hint...just a thought.

Right now I am looking out at the bay, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the sealift ships. My truck will be leaving on one of the first ships in and all going well will arrive in Quebec shortly after I do. I had hoped it would be there before me...but that isn't happening. So I may need to endure a couple days of pedicures and massages while I await the truck. It's a rough life. The only issue is that for every day the boat is late getting in to Iqaluit is another day later it arrives just outside of Montreal. I am hoping that it will arrive within a couple days of me...but as I have discovered living in the North...things will happen on their own schedule. You can't rush the process.

Happy Belated Birthday Canada...but more importantly...early B'day greetings to my Dad. Happy Birthday Dad. Wish I was there to share the cake with you. Love...the son you never had--your eldest daughter.
