7 May, Friday: Oh my heavens, I’m going to PARIS for the weekend. I cannot believe it. But I booked a flight and a hotel. Since I’m going back to the states a little earlier than originally planned, I have to take advantage of every weekend possible. I’M SO EXCITED!

Woke up at 5:45 AM. I know I’ve got a little anxiety about getting everything done so I can leave on June 2, but this waking up early has got to stop. Maybe my body is slowly adjusting to getting back on US time, so soon I’ll be waking up at midnight here or whatever. But to really work, I should be sleeping later, so I’d get in synch with Central Time. Ah, well, whatever is going on, I want it to STOP.

And now that I’m going to Paris, I’m afraid it will be even worse. Well, I can put up with sleeplessness for fun like this.

My friend, Chris, arrived around 7:15 and we went to dinner at Franc’s, a lovely French restaurant in Goose Green. I felt like a freak. They tried to take the bread away and I reacted as if it were my first-born child. Do ya think I’m a carb addict?

Afterward we walked for a short time and then returned here where I was able to show Chris some of the company websites and of course my blog. He’s been with the company less than a week, and the bigwigs should be leery of letting me spend too much time with him. Bad influence.

It was a relaxing evening, culminating with watching the game show Distraction, which is a really sick puppy. It’s like a train wreck, you know you shouldn’t watch, but you can’t stop yourself.
