c’est la vie, c’est la guerre
it was a day that started out so bright
breakfast at laduree, while the sun beamed down
all was bliss, until i got word from home
that chaos is at my door
i have to leave paris
TOMORROW MORNING!!
i am so not ready to go
i could cry
the paris apartment

So sad! I hope your chaos is sorted out soon. You should buy yourself a dozen salted caramel macaroons from laduree for the trip home, those certainly go a long way towards soothing my low spirits.

All the colors are so scrumptious! I can see why you’re having separation anxiety. I have the same problem with the north shore of O’ahu. It’s so hard, isn’t it?
