turns out i couldn't get to Atlanta afterall, so it's off to France without a Visa i go! (hopefully the application can be completed without my presence and sent via post or i don't know what i'm going to do). its been a whacky week...i'm going/i'm not going, i'm not feeling well/ there's nothing wrong, ruby needs a sitter/no she doesn't now, the house is done/oh, but no sofa (don't ask!), i can cook in the kitchen/but the car isn't running. and so on. i need a drink.
