Thurs 21 Jun

Happy summer solstice! Yesterday was productive, albeit expensive. I planned our spring break for next year. Using a low-cost airfare from Next Vacay, I booked us in to Paris and found a lovely little flat to rent for 9 days over Bob's birthday. Springtime in Paris! Airfare was less than $1000, the apartment is a little over $1200, so even with food, it hopefully won't be considerably more expensive than our usual winter break beach vacation, though of course it also won't be as warm and sunny. But hey, it's PARIS!!! Already suggested Bob switch his Duolingo to learning French. Slept a little later than usual this morning as Kathy is out of town and I had a rough time with my hips in the middle of the night so I took Ibuprofen, but not until 4 am. Once it kicked in, I rested much more comfortably. Food: 8:00 am 1 c Quaker Oat Squares, 1/2 c soy milk, 101 g blackberries, coffee
