Woken up by cat meowing and scratching at bedroom door
07:42
I give in to her pleas and let her into the room, me and the cat go back to sleep on the bed
10:00
Woken up by Belgians delivering the second half of our couch, which we had ordered in May
10:25
Start to rearrange the living room so the couch fits
10:26
Scratch hardwood floors while moving couch
10:27
Start to work putting floor protectors on all legs of the couch
11:45
Start watching movie called "Demonlover." It is in French and I keep asking Stephane what is going on.
12:45
Stephane gets so tired of my questions and complaints that he shuts off the movie and goes to take his shower
13:00
I carry myself through the rain, in my pyjamas, to the pharmacy to remedy my hacking cough and pick up a much-needed prescription, only to find that the pharmacy is closed for lunch
13:20
I take my shower
13:40
Stephane and I, inspired by the beautiful new couch, set out to clean our disgustingly dirty apartment
14:45
Leave to go shopping for a coffee table to go with our beautiful new couch.
15:05
After 20 minutes walking in the cold Parisian drizzle, glued to each other's side to ensure shelter by the umbrella, I remember my prescription at the pharmacy.
15:08
After some deliberation, we decide the only choice we have is to walk back to the pharmacy
15:25
Arrive at pharmacy and get medications
15:28
Start walking towards the furniture stores (all conveniently located on the same street)
15:55
Arrive at first over-priced design store
16:38
Find some reasonably-priced ceiling lights and consider buying them; then decide not to. The heat and blinding brightness of the light display nearly ruined our decision-making capacity, convincing us that we needed them all, but we were able to escape their hypnotic powers.
17:41
Exhausted and bordering on grouchy, we arrive at Stephane's mother's house, chat with his sister, who is the only one home
18:05
Catch the premiere of The OC (called Newport Beach here)
18:45
Head to the movies to see Collateral (not bad at all, but a typical movie that the boring couple would go and see)
21:06
Leave movies and start the walk home
21:15
Stop at deli to buy bread and potato chips for dinner
21:38
Arrive home
21:39
Let cat outside
21:41
Pop the Picard frozen "Canard a l'orange" in the microwave.
21:48
Sit down to a lovely meal, while watching the France-Ireland game
22:20
I go online, while Stephane remains glued to the television
22:30
Start blogging
