Will Clean for Kisses

I have so much to do. Packing…but first unpacking. Wow. I'm still not undone from France yet, and my kitty is yowling outside my door to be in. I want him here, I really do, but I don't want piss on my stuff. As it's everywhere and messy, he has a tendency to pee.

I need to clean this out, now. Tomorrow, I want to get off work on time (no more overtime!) and get my closet cleaned. Then maybe my (still?) clean laundry. After that, I can take a break. So. I have a plan. It's public. I'm going to do it.

Or no kitty kisses for me.

Ponder It…

First day back to work—I've already got overtime! I'm so dedicated….

And tired. So I'll ask one of those deep philosophical questions.

What would you do if you could do one great thing to be remembered by, in this instant?

News Flash

I have a lot to say, but not many words to use. My French partner and I (the one I was living with, and came with me to live hear for a month?) have parted ways sooner than expected. While it hurts for me not to be able to fulfill the role I expected to fill, I know that this is better for everyone involved.

She can get more of what she wants out of the experience, and I can sink back into my familiar routine, knowing that I had an amazing time in France.

In other news, I went to a party last night at a friend's place, and due to scheduling, stayed the night. As such, we spent the day together, going to lunch at this little place in his town, then to a movie in the 'city' we live close-ish to. The Campaign. Not my type of humour, but it was okay. Started a half hour late, though, for whatever reason…that was odd.

Also, I'm going back to work tomorrow, and jumping right in with a nine hour shift. I'm ready to use my newfound experiences to enjoy my nest two weeks before I move!

Speaking of which, I really do need to pack my stuff up….

Strut

Another fashion day—I modelled pretty much straight from five through ten, though the catwalk was only for a portion of that. I wore clothes by the label for the whole time otherwise, though. As I told some friends: I must have looked good, or the photographer probably would have left me alone!!

Anyway, as I'm technically talking about yesterday now, I think it's time I went to bed. I eventually have to get back into the 'school' rhythm!

Confusion

I've been AWOL again, but I have a pretty good reason that's actually so private and far reaching that I'm not comfortable even attempting to censure and post it. For those of you that care—I think I've got a solution on the horizon. Maybe. Wishful thinking…?

Anyway, I visited Vernon last week, got to ride my great-uncle's boat (awesome!). My favourite one was actually the night before we left, we got to go out late and go around in the twilight. The half light…I sat at the very tip of the bow, so if you closed your eyes or only looked down, you couldn't see the boat and could almost forget about it. It was absolutely breathtaking.

I think I've made an unfortunate discovery—apparently I'm more vindictive than I thought I was. I'm not okay with that, so it's something I need to work on.

I have to go now, I have a fashion show tonight and tomorrow that I get to partake in. Looking forward to it!!

At Long Last

Well…here I am. After a month in Franc—of which I have no photos available for you yet—I'm back. The thing is, I leave tomorrow for a week in Vernon, and for at least part, if not all, of that, I will be completely without computer/internet access. I'll journal while I'm there to keep things fresh for us, but until I get back, in a week, there won't be any more posts.

What did I do in France? I visited Lascaux II, Brantome, Biarritz, the Dune du Pilat, Arcachon,  Bordeaux, Saint Astier, and Mont de Marson. A few other places, too, that I can't remember the name of….

My favourite was probably the Dune—largest in Europe, it's quite a walk to get up, but it's amazing once you do. The sheer expanse of sand…!!

Are there any questions you have about my trip? What would you like to hear about most?
