I’m sorry to say that there will be no post from Brittany today, but there’s a very good reason for it. Today was Brittany’s Emancipation Day, and now she’s officially and legally a free woman. Something I haven’t mentioned before is that Brittany was still technically married until, well, earlier this morning!

They retreated…to the west. I suppose it’s just the natural animal instinct...
