If I had more time on my hands I might find myself going through something similar but "thankfully" I've got a job that sucks most of that up and the rest of the time is spent on CP (joking... sort of).

The one thing I will mention -- my wife got a dog and found she was able to expand her social circle by going to the dog park and meeting people there. As someone who stays at home that might be worth considering (both the canine companionship and meeting other dog owners); I personally wouldn't recommend it because I'm not a dog person and it's probably more work/stress than it's worth, but if it's something you've considered previously then perhaps that might be an option.

Oh, and if you're a Flames fan hopefully they can do some damage in the playoffs, in which case you'll have a plenty of things to talk about over the next several months...

Well here we go! I found a potential shared interest between you and Sliver! We're making new friends already!
