It would be more precise to say: I am mobile. I finally got a membership with CommunAuto (the Quebec version of VirtuCar).
When I left work over a year ago, I meant to sign up. But I never got around it; there was plenty of stuff to do around the neighbourhood and at home, and I could easily take the bus when I needed to go further afield. And even when Tim was new, it was a big enough deal to get to the grocery store.
But after a summer of traveling and getting out and about, now that Tim is older and curious (yet difficult to take on a bus), I am getting restless and need more to do. Enter car-sharing.
It's awesome. There shared cars parked in a few different places nearby. I can pop the carseat right on the stroller base to take Tim to the car. The world is suddenly our oyster! We've only been on a few independent outings so far. Today, we applied for our passports -- a renewal for me, and a brand-spanking new one for Tim. Good times. We are slowly branching out, and will start to maybe even socialize!
To start, we have plans in the next few weeks to start a new routine: weekly lunches in Kanata with Dad.
