Thursday

Wow! Finally a day to myself! My little introverted self was so happy. Really, I thought there could be nothing better than chilling out and watching TV all day. That is, until my landlord knocked on my door. Luc appeared with a HUGE box in his hands. A package from my parents!! He let me know that his wife would be out of town for the weekend, but I should just holler downstairs if I needed anything. I assured him I would and he left a beautiful bottle of port with me.

I immediately ripped apart the package to find it stuffed full of yarn and other essentials that I’d requested. I was so excited! Now I could spend the entire day crocheting. I decided that I would use the yarn to make some baby blankets for Anne and Luc because their sons are still having babies. They would be my occupation for now and my going away present later on. I turned on Arrested Development, popped open my bottle of blueberry wine, and settled in.

In the evening, I asked the girls if they were interested in going to Grenoble for the weekend. My visa health appointment was on Monday and I thought it would be nice to spend some more time in the city. Everyone agreed, so we bought tickets and got our Airbnb set up.

I enjoyed a nice call with my parents and the cat before heading to bed.
