They had one last year but we didn’t go. I had only been here a…

strike
France is in the middle of a strike (again). Long story super, duper short (and without going into the heavy details), citizens are peeved with Mr. Sarkozy, his pension reform plans and retirement age increase. And because the French are experts at strikes, riots, and revolution (Hello Marie Antoinette! Where’s your head at girl?!), they don’t just strike…

For The Love of J.R.
Thanks to the miracle of pharmaceuticals, I’m beginning to feel better, but I’m still not full on me yet (It’s kind of like a printer when the ink cartridge needs to be changed. You can see the words on the page, but they don’t pop. That’s me right now, I’m not popping).It’s a good time…

I saw my French doctor yesterday for the very first time. He told me I have tonsillitis. (He is so not my favorite person right now. Except, he did give me the drugs. OK, back on the Christmas card list he goes). I’m cranky, sick, and icky.(And I look pretty icky too. Sick is not a good…
