They cite hygiene. Maybe I wore my trunks out and about or have stuff in my pockets (yeah, even our swim trunks have pockets 😬) so I can't wear them in the water.

Don't believe the lies told by Big Baguette - sandwiches cannot be carried by bread alone. They're all, "Our bread is so good, it doesn't need anything else!" Lies. Is the bread good, sure. But this isn't a sandwich, it's an insult. An argument. If "We need to talk" was a meal. Rocks in shoes.

Since moving to France, when people ask me if I miss anything from the US, normally I say spicy food. Tonight my answer is queso. I'm at a Mexican (!) place and my options were guacamole or a black bean puree. Isn't this the home base of cheese?! Come on now!

Most of the time, quite a bit. In fact, I pulled the data. Blue and purple are good days or above, pink is meh. Have yet to have down or awful days this year.

A chart that shows moods for every day of the year. X axis is the month, Y axis is the date, each coordinate is a circle. Blue represents awesome/phenomenal days, purple good, pink meh, red down days, and beige awful. Thus far this year, there have been 61 blue days, 7 purple days, 1 meh day, and 0 for down and awful.
