Here I am, when the family of 3 are on vacation in France, I am trying to write a blog post. Now, let's greet to each other, shall we, how are you all, my friends on the internet?
Saturday (06/24/2017) afternoon - said goodbye at the airport;
Sunday morning - joined a dance group of girls;
Sunday afternoon - visited a friend's luxurious house close to our house and then hosted 2 other dance girls late lunch;
Sunday night - worked overnight at work; slept from 6-8 am!
Monday - drove myself in the middle of tropical storm Cindy following a dinner at a friend's Apt, which was super dangerous when I was severely sleep-deprived. Felt lucky to be alive!
Now it's Tuesday afternoon and I wrote this post within 30 min. because I wanted to take a break from all the administrative work that I have been doing ever since April!!!
