Based on zero evidence, I thought I would feel better today. That didn't happen, but I think I will still be able to load and unload the dishwasher a few times, in between reading magazines and watching Netflix. And I've got stock simmering, won't take much effort to get that finished up. That will probably have to do, productivity-wise.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've half unpacked and am now back on the couch with tea, catching up on my programs.
Another periodic Ellen update: Gabrielle Union was on, and she's engaged to Dwayne Wade, and they were talking about all the sex her character has on her show. She said he gives her a high five and then covers his eyes. Aw! I actually think that's the perfect response.

Because books.
So did you smoke a Gauloise? And how was the CHEESE and the BREAD? These are the important questions.

I avoided Gauloises, and the cheese and bread were both excellent! We had amazing raclette (among other things), which reminded me to do the home version again. I ate many pain au chocolate, and several ham sandwiches, and only two crepes. My only regret! Also that I am not better at regulating my coffee v. wine consumption over a day, so I didn't drink that much of either. (Wine was usually cheaper than soda!)

Truth. Also all the museums I skipped.

Nothing like getting up, showered, dressed, and a little makeup only to have your friend say "you look tired". Le sigh.

Wine is cheaper than soda. Oh, land of my heart!
For those of us who worry about our hearts: my brother the doctor says that reseveretrol, which is the chemical in red wine that is good for your heart, is presented most strongly in malbecs and zinfandels. So if you must indulge, get one of those!
Of course, of the wines I bought yesterday (having a high-quality wine-and-cheese shop next to my hair salon is not healthy), one was a nice white and neither of the others were malbecs or zins. Woops.

...or just drink extra rioja to make up the difference, right?
