Disco. The Starbuck’s is playing actual disco. My brain is melting, do you have any idea how hard it is to write with this nonsense playing in the background. Sometimes the coffee shop is ideal for writing, but now and again it is truly awful. Anti-inspirational. Fabulous. OK, now it is some kind imitation of those forties style seduction songs like Mr. Bigg. Still distracting. Anyway, I figured that five minutes of free writing was still five minutes more writing than I’ll get done just sitting here kvetching about the horrible music. Plus, it is kind of cathartic to write down that it is awful. The mind, she works in mysterious ways. So now Huw is just telling me all the time to not accidentally drive off a cliff. At least he cares. I need to figure out what to do in Paris, I mean what did I want to do that I missed last time? Other than chocolate, flan and coffee? I think the dollar is doing a bit better so this time it might be ok to buy a thing or two, nothing expensive, but just a keepsake or two. Last time the exchange rate was so bad that I just didn’t want to. Oh, and I want to go to that store where I got the card holder, I love that thing and I’d really like to have a backup. The main thing is going to be figuring out how to control my sleeping so I can enjoy being in Paris rather than enjoying being in my hotel room.
Oh, and my mind has been full of things having to do with moving, I suppose I could write them down, then at least I’ve got them out there.
