Today is National Bossโs Day and National Liqueur Day. I woke at 3:30 and got right to tackling my to do list. Later, I got the girls up and off to school. Once I had cleaned up, Phelix and I headed out to Arabia. When we got back, I did a little work and then
photo friday: shopping in dublin
I’m not much of a shopper, but we seemed to go to many, many stores while in Dublin. The girls didn’t buy much at them, but it was fun seeing what was available….

Today is National Chicken Cacciatore Day. I got up early to make coffee for Rob who had an early flight to Florida. The girls got off to school and I went back to bed – I was exhausted and achy. When I got up midmorning, I felt much better – I had not been sleeping

Today is National Chocolate-Covered Insects Day. I got up early, had breakfast, packed, checked out of the hotel, and took the RER to Charles de Gaulle. Except the train didn’t go to Terminal 2. It stopped at Terminal 1. Eventually someone told us the train wasn’t going any further, so we all got off and

Today is National Yorkshire Pudding Day. I woke early, but took time to take care of a bunch of things before heading out. I walked up to Bastille, then along Richard Lenoir until I got to the canal. I walked for a ways along the canal, but then started to ache and get quite tired,

Today is National Gumbo Day. Tried to get up early to take care of all the things, but hadn’t slept well and was too tired. I did manage to do a few things, shoewr and eat before it was time to meet Veronica to take the train to work. I had a nice day at

Today is National Coming Out Day and International Day of the Girl and National Sausage Pizza Day. I managed to get up early, have breakfast and start out. First stop was the metro to replace my tickets that no longer worked. Second stop was Pompidou to buy a scarf. I walk to Place des Vosges,

Today is National Cake Decorating Day and Universal Music Day and National Angel Food Cake Day. Though I tried to get up early, I had a bit of a slow start to the day. The breakfast in this hotel isn’t very good, but it was enough. I left a bit after 9 and walked up
at work.
AT work. It has been so long since I’ve been able to say those words. Far too long. Sure, I work, but I don’t GO to work. I’m not AT work. And, yes, working from home is amazing. My hours are generally flexible. I have no commute. While I have interruptions, they are usually minimal,

Today is Leif Erikson Day and National Moldy Cheese Day and World Egg Day. Up early to take care of things, shower and pack. I checked out of the hotel, then Vero and I drove over to IBM for the first time. It was faster to walk than drive! I worked all morning, then we
photo friday: river liffey
Our apartment in Dublin — while having a myriad of ridiculous issues (wi-fi doesn’t always mean wi-fi), was in an excellent location. We could even see the River Liffey from every window. And, so, it was a central point of our explorations of Dublin.

Today is National Fluffernutter Day and World Tag Day. I got up early enough to take care of a few things; I wasn’t hungry, so I skipped breakfast once again. Vero and I walked the path over to work for the final time. I worked all morning and then went to lunch at Sodexo with
the sound of silence
As I planned my trip to France, I started to think about things to do while I was in the area around Nice. I’ve been to most of the touristy places in the area and wanted to do something different. On the same day, I came across the Lerins Islands and a friend recommended them

Today is National Frappe Day and Balloons Around the World Day. I had a hard time waking up this morning after having had such a long day yesterday; I skipped breakfast! Vero and I walked over to the IBM building and settled into work. I took care of a number of things and feel like
normal? or disaster?
In the week preceding my trip to Cannes, I kept a close eye on the weather. The chance of rain for the weekend increased and increased, making me think that I was not going to get to do the things I had planned to do while in Cannes. I consoled myself with the fact that

Today is Mad Hatter Day and National Noodle Day. I got up early to take care of a bunch of things and have breakfast in the hotel. At 8:15, Vero and I walked over to the IBM building. I wore my Birks, and my shins were on fire by the time we got there. I
somewhere that feels like “home”
As I stepped into the hotel breakfast Saturday morning, I knew I was home. Not my real home of course, but a place that was absolutely familiar to me. A place I love and I miss. France. Having traveled to France more than a dozen times now, I still very much don’t belong here. I

Today is National Apple Betty Day and World Habitat Day. Up not as early as I would have liked, but still early enough to take care of a bunch of things before heading down to breakfast. Vero and I met in the lobby at 8:15 and walked over to IBM. It was a little longer
