The Kid had to be at school early for a field trip, so I got up and got him ready. The Dad had no idea about this, so for once, I looked on top of my game in the morning. The Kid was pretty easy because he was excited to go, and the Dad drove us on his way into town. They were going to the Louvre and I was invited, but declined due to the fact that 100 French 6 year olds are not my chosen company. I went back home and took a little nap, because I could.
Because I was unable to get gas last night, I braved the roads and made the journey the couple of miles to the nearest gas station. At worst, the car would die, and I'd have to hoof it all the way. Then explain in French that I needed gas and a container, and then hoof it back. Luckily for me, I made it all the way. Most nerve racking drive I've taken in awhile. While pumping, the gas is in liters, and it's a very small car, so I put in 10 euros and thought I would go from there. It was about 1/3 of a tank, perfect. No way I'm going to fill it up. It would cost half a week's pay. Since I was in town, I stopped by the bigger grocery store and grabbed cheese and bread. I've been craving it lately I think because I know it will be short lived.
I spent the afternoon going through my things and trying to figure out where to start. I didn't buy all that many things, but I didn't leave much space on the flight over either. I will make it work somehow or another. The Kid and I went on the trampoline and played outside for most of the evening. It was an easy day, which was nice because starting Monday, it's going to be all 12 hour days. Super excited.
