Thinking about Countries

I want to start all of these by saying "not much happened today", but things did actually happen, they always do. I finally opened my fancy granola and had it for breakfast, which meant I basically wasn't hungry until like 6pm, so that's good? I bought it at another one of the fancy bakeries I go to, this was from KL Patisserie  where I had the excellent French Toast ("Pain Perdu": Lost Bread) the other day: View this post on Instagram Grüße an den #Rosentag mit armen Ritter aus Paris! A post shared by Feathers McGraw (@cupidissimo) on May 25, 2019 at 3:12am PDT  I will finish the granola (I bought fiber flakes and oats to mix it with which was definitely a good idea, and I added some dark chocolate hagelslag) but I don't really remember anything particular about it. It was fine I guess? I struggled with an assignment I got for a job interview I'm going to have on Monday (which I don...

Couches

Today, nothing happened. It was a bank holiday in France and lots of stuff was closed. Instead of doing actual things I fell into a K-pop-on-YouTube hole and tried to decide which couch I was going to buy, then was on the phone with my mom for almost 2 hours. FOOD TODAY: Chicken-breast baguette, cookie from patisserie avocado-salmon Sushi roll Chocolate madeleine some seasalt and herbs Pringles COUCHES: There's one inherited from my mom in terms of what I want in a couch: no loose cushions. I like for the couch to be one piece with nothing removable except for maybe a few throwpillows if feel so inclined. On top of that, I don't like visible feet on most furniture really, and especially on couches. This doesn't actually leave me with a lot of options. So here are my current finalist, ordered by price starting at the cheapest: Made.com "Juno", 1500€ It looks cool but I am not a giant fan of what looks like gaps between the individual modules. However a...

Dear Diary May 29, 2019

I am not really doing especially much these days. My horoscope said not to rush anything, and to give myself some time to decide, and I am doing that. It's not getting easier to get up early, but I did successfully manage to leave the house by 13:00 or so, to do some things. I wanted to wear all-whale today but i busted the zipper of the pants after I successfully buttoned it, so I just went with the T-shirt. I wanted to try out a few bakeries and visit the Rodin Museum, and I had a clothes delivery to pick up at one of the outlets of the chain I ordered it from. This was because  COMPLAINTS ABOUT FRANCE PART 1: DELIVERIES Actually a bit of a hassle. So apparently, buildings in France, or at least in Paris, don't really have doorbells at the front of the building, just next to your apartment door. So if you want to get pretty much anything delivered, the delivery company will call you ahead of time to make sure you are there and can open the doors. If you are not, they can...
