Today's list of things that made me happy: - I got a vaccine appointment! - my back didn't hurt - edited 3 more chapters of my book.

My favorite line in my new book I'm editing: "How the hell is he so drunk he murdered his own eyebrow but somehow still has the ability to recognize me making out with Terra in the woods?" #wip #smalltowncontemporary #romance

Okay... officially, WE ARE GETTING ASTRAZENECA back tomorrow! Woo hoo! I'm back on track to be vaccinated by mid-April. THANK FUCKING GOD. And they're getting J&J vaccines in May.

The French gov just spent 20 minutes explaining that the hospitals are overrun with younger patients than ever before BUT now they're talking about how they're only vaccinating the "most vulnerable" which they say are 75 or older. BUT YOUNG ARE FILLING THE HOSPITALS.

Every single French government official has an incredible talent for giving a 1 hour speech that has exactly 3 minutes of useful information.

and easily make - minimum - 60,000 euros more than we paid two years ago. Anyway, we aren't positive we will do it. The government speaks AGAIN tonight... we'll see what they say.

bureaucracy is at a level I have never experienced. I could handle all their ridiculous hoops (as an expat) when there was a quality of life, but there isn't now. The good news is people are leaving big cities and buying in our town at a rate they've never seen. We could sell

to get herd immunity. And the government here seems perfectly content with keeping people locked down and businesses closed. I don't have any urge to live like this longer than the rest of the world. And to be honest, it isn't easy living here before all that. The paperwork and

at my local hospital and get a vaccine because they've got tons of space, but I would need a prescription & I don't have the conditions that qualify, but THEY HAVE THE AVAILABILITY because the majority those that qualify don't want it. France may never have enough ppl vaccinated

understand the lockdown - at first. But now here we are a year later, with vaccines and France is STILL under a 6pm curfew with no bars or restaurants or gyms or theaters, etc. and Macron is talking about tightening lockdown MORE. They've pulled Astrazeneca, which has less

(THREAD) So... we are seriously talking about selling the house and moving back to Canada. Here's the thing - we moved here to travel Europe and have a more social, laid back life. There's a lot that has made that impossible, the pandemic obviously being number one. I completely

Facebook memories reminded me today is a really good day, historically, for me. In the past on this day I quit my day job to become a full-time writer (2016), moved into our apartment in LA (2013), Got a new car (also 2013) and had a reunion with my high school besties (2014).

So now @EmmanuelMacron won't give us our life back (still in lockdown and curfew with no open restaurants, or bars, or gyms) but won't give us the vaccine either. GREAT STRATEGY.
