A Foodie's Foray in France

You can take the girl away from the coast...

Well, not much to report.


The persistent stream of house guests is starting to wear away at me. I had planned a series of “alone” days but these were quickly taken up by friends whose plans to stay elsewhere had fallen though. I feel very lucky to have such great people in my life, and I am happy to share my apartment with people. However, I feel like a few days of tranquility are necessary for me to stay sane and to keep up with my food work.


 

I also need to figure out why not having solitary time freaks me out so much.



 The revolutionary root veggie opera was wonderful. I adored every minute of it.


 Work is wearing away at me. I feel colossally unproductive and recent conversations with old colleagues from home makes me really miss the proactive, people-focused part of my old work life. 


Sad……



I am trying to dedicate myself to a serious sports routine and I am really enjoying it. Half way through my 45 minute spinning class last night I realized I was giddy (and I was actually the only person smiling in the entire room). I guess the joy comes from the endorphins but I also spend a lot of time reflecting on how lucky I am that my body lets me be active and how much joy I get from being active.


 

Is that painfully "west coast"?




Speaking of the coast, I am desperate for some outdoor adventures. Concrete jungling doesn't quite cut it.




FRESH AIR... ahhhhhh
