So I found two perfect apartments for us but the negotiations have gone nowhere or fell thru. I am so bummed – these had the perfect blend of modern conveniences and yet the quaint charm of Paris. I know it’s silly – I should be ecstatic that I am in Paris but I so want to be settled in my own place and with my own stuff and really feel like we have a home. Things have been so temporary for so long – But no matter how much I want it, I cannot make this happen – I cannot make the right home appear. It is out of my control and I do not do well with that! ARG!!!! And to add insult to injury, the damn internet went down in our temporary apartment so I have to find cafes with free wifi - well, at least I can have a nice coffee or glass of wine!
