The electrician is here. The power will go off soon, so I rush to make a post. They are charging out my electric boxes on the outside walls of the house. It looks like rain. Not a good day to be working with electricity outside, I'd say. My luck. He said it will take the entire day to complete the job. I no longer need to go to work, but without electricity, I do not wish to stay here, so off to work I go.
These last days before the trip have become too busy, too much. It is always so. I got my car fixed yesterday. After today. . . the plumber.
I hope to be this girl with a camera in Paris soon. There is a tropical storm brewing that could change my flight. Everything stresses me out.
I can't wait to be a flaneur.
ReplyDeleteI've just sent you an email of another good "take home after being out on adventures all day meal with a couple of bottles of wine."

And to top off all the Paris on my brain - tonight on World Cafe Radio - guess what it is? Yup . Parisian.

Don't go all crazy about NOT being in Montmartre after reading that. You can spend a long wonderful day there - finding Van Gogh's house - wander over to the Bateau-Lavoir - have delicious buttery escargot at an outdoor cafe.
fuck you. :)
