Metro Trocadero was my stop when I lived in Paris! I lived with a very 16eme family (old, a bit shabby rich) and you could stick your head out the living room window and look left and see the Tour Eiffel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Stayed home to wait for the delivery guys to bring our new sofa. We bought a new sofa and love seat because the old ones needed to go. Finally got a delivery date of today, with a window of 10:30-2:30. They actually got here around 10:30, but I had already decided to take the day.

I haven't been to Paris in 20 years. I want to go to there.
Does anyone have tips on recovering from burnout? I've chatted with some people I worked with on the Project of Doom, and we're all still fried to a crisp. I keep getting colds, so I probably should come up with some coping strategies like a motherforking adult.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A real chunk of actual time off gets my vote.

Ugh. I was like "cool let's go buy a microwave and installation" and my sister is all "bag I can do it". And then today gets her friend to come over and suckers him into helping for several house. During which they unscrew the microwave and can't fogure out how to actually detach it from the wall and have to keep holding it up while she googles and YouTube's. And finds out there's a piece you have to take off to get to a lever, etc. and then I'd like "we can reuse the same mounting plate!" But then we can't. And then can't get my drill to drill the required holes. And I don't have the right size drill bit. And the vent hood I think is not going to be right. And I'm worried she'll leave me in a worse place than when I started.

Hooray! I was worried you're whole kitchen would be in pieces.

Me too, me too! I'm feeling much better not only having it in there but having cleaned up the mess. Though the old one is still in the way, gotta call up the trash people and let them know.

shrift, I think you should put your cell-phone in the freezer and go sit on a beach in Thailand for a month.

megan walker drive-by for msbelle: My blog page for navigating Paris beyond the obvious, instructions for the métro, etc. with the caveat that it has been five years since I've been there (though I updated the prices more recently than that). I need to work on that. Le sigh.
