J'ai mal à la tête
This has been a week of headaches both literal and figurative. Someone lent me a bike to get home the other night and someone tried to steal it. I did lock it up well enough, so they were unsuccessful in lifting it, but they did scratch it up and stole the seat. Today I went looking to see where I could get a new seat and I found a place that sells them, so hopefully we can take the bike there and find a match. It's just not what I need in my delicate financial state and it's frustrating, because it's not like I was being responsible, but I obviously feel awful. While walking through the city today I did notice other locked up bikes with missing seats.
I've been trying to figure out Elena's visit, but we really want to do Mont Saint Michel, and it's just absolutely the hardest site to get to in France. Physically it's not that far away, but it's so isolated and therefore complicated to get to. Meanwhile, it's hard to talk to Elena about this because our schedules are so different. I just unfortunately feel like I'm running out of time and I still have to plan my own trip home.
