Yet another day...

I just realized I need to write in my diary! It's been about 4 days....zut alors! I've been busy since being back here in Bougival. Tstaroday I 'deep cleaned' the studio...which took a long time to do, but it needed to be done and I'm glad I did it. I did about 4 loads of laundry, including the shower curtain, towels, rugs, etc. I got off work early today..Virginie came home for the day after lunch, to give me the afternoon off (because these 2 weeks are going to be busy for me since the kids aren't in school yet). So it was nice...by 2pm I was in the studio cleaning and organizing more, doing laundry, etc. I also walked to the train station because there is a big box there to drop off clothes to donate to the homeless, and so I took a box left over from Mary Clare, to donate. I discovered a few new places too and paid careful attention to streets and directions...now that I'm here I have to be aware of everything so I can learn directions/places quickly. Starting tomorrow evening I'll be driving every night w/Jerome for 30 minutes just to start getting acquainted with driving here and how to get places.

Yesterday I talked to 2 of my best friends online, so that was exciting! I like this internet thing here for my evenings...it's a good way to stay connected. And today I talked to Courtney online for a few minutes, and Judy too (Bonne Anniversaire!).

Well, other than dropping 3 eggs on the floor tonight (thus eliminating one meal for myself...ugh) and breaking a few other things (I'm still trying to get acquainted with the studio, the small kitchenette, etc), things are good here. The weather is not as nice as the beach. Limited sun, and in the 60s I think...well, this isn't an eventful blog and I want to get organized for my day tomorrow so I'm signing off. Chow!

Laura-loo I miss you! My secret wish (not so secret anymore!) is to win the lottery and come visit all the time. Okay, so maybe once...but all the time sounds better. :) I'm so happy that you are liking it there. I knew you would. And it'll keep getting better and better. Is there anything you need? Anything you can't get there but miss from home? Because I want to send you something and could put other stuff in. Let me know.
