Appart'City Lyon Iii

For those of you do enjoy reading my blog sorry that it has been so long. I haven't been able to bring myself to my computer to write. I can’t explain if it was because of me not having anything to say, being more preoccupied with personal issues that have been going on back home or if its because I have been enjoying my life in the real world and choosing it over the computer. For whatever reason I was unable to find ...

... which sadly was quite small and only in French. However, there was a beautiful silk shop attached to it and lots of nice shops in that area, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Then I met up with Lis and we took the tram up the hill to a beautiful church which looked out over the city. The view was really amazing, and, as it was a clear day, we could faintly see Mt Blanc in the distance. We walked back down the hill and, feeling that we had earned it, ate icecream at a cute ...

... what is right for me, and my future, I can 100% say yes. I can be so sure because for some odd reason I cant wait for the 9 ½ months I get to be pregnant. Some of you women maybe think I am crazy, and maybe I am because I don’t know yet, but I cant exactly explain the feeling I have about it. It’s the one thing in the world that makes be grateful to be a woman. Not because of the “power” we can yield with men, or the feminists ...

... I am feeling great. I don’t know if that has anything to do with starting the meds that the Dr. prescribed for my poor little tummy or if it has everything to do with my boost in confidence for the way things have turned around. But my attitude has change completely and I wake up much happier and don’t sweat the small stuff as much as I usually do.

Though in the last blog I wrote about how in general I haven’t been sweating ...

So considering my normal nature things are on the positive. I mean there is plenty of **** flying around me but somehow I am dealing with it easier than normal. I am not down in the dumps and all emo about the several different problems that I am dealing with currently. It's a new experience entirely for me.

I am dealing with family issues back at home. Nothing that I am ...

... a bad attitude and not wanting to be involved.

That’s really just the tip of the iceberg. I am not even going to get into the rest, but basically I have enough to deal with in my own personal life than to add everything else that their asking me to deal with. It’s so confusing and I feel like there is no way to make my feelings clear. They want me to tell them what I am unhappy ...

... the tile in the bathroom floor after the hottub and crack open my chin on the porcelain ba-day. Yes I know I could have done much worse like knocked my precious teeth out of even cracked open my head, but it was a clean slice. With my “I am a nurses daughter” medical experience I could have easily gotten two stitches, but I pulled a “dad” and made a makeshift butterfly bandage. You think that’s all? Oh no… The next ...

... I was and that I hoped she didn’t think I was the worst nanny ever. She laughed and said of course not. Lucky for me Chantal, the mother of Carla the cutie next door, picked her up from school. I told Julie all about what happened and she reassured me that “mamma and papa and sweet, they wont be mad”. I called Virginie to once again apologize and felt better afterword.

Boy of boy what a day. I poured myself a glass of wine and got out my flats to wear for the next day.

... card for my phone (EAGER TO USE!!) but I was told I needed to get a bank account first. So, off to the bank then where I was given a long complicated story about how I couldn’t do it til Tues and add my jitters a cause du le café. But my guess is that its all that combined into one big ball of frustration.

So what was I to do about it all? Throw a fit about how its not fair and I want it now.Nope I am an adult ...

... who was kind enough to put all 5 of us at 11:30 PM. Speaks to the wonderful people of couchsurfing that they would accept our family [of strangers] and we enjoyed Jeremy's company and fell quickly to sleep with a date to meet Emma's group of Canadian exchange students the next day at Lyon Airport. We look forward to exploring Lyon more after the time in our Gite [a french farmhouse we have rented-next entry.]
