Jesus, something is happening in Paris.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I eventually escaped the hell of Cox & Kings, my god. I waited forever, but once I actually got to the counter, my visa paperwork was all in order and it took about two minutes. PROPER PREPARATION, WOO. I should get my passport back in 5-7 business days.
I stopped at the grocery store and will be putting beef in a crock pot to roast the rest of the day.
Edit re Paris: Holy shit!

Sauvignon blancs have become my go to white. Chardonnays are hit and miss - the ones I like I really like, but the others I really don't. (Pouilly-Fuisse, btw, is chardonnay. They vary A LOT but determining which are the ones you like requires trying maybe too many of the ones you don't ime)
Oh, I can consult my wine database. White wines that I have noted as "look for more": verdelho (although my notes mention that it is a "perfect summer white"), sauvignon blanc, chardonnay. I think I liked the albarino also, but I haven't actually opened the bottle I bought, just tried it at the co-op, and another bottle I opened recently that I bought that day I didn't even want to drink, so my judgement on that occasion is suspect. I have a roussanne marked as "too sweet" but I don't know if that's all roussannes - the label called it "the sauvignon blanc of chardonnays" fwtw.
I like my whites not very sweet at all and there's a particular taste that I have not been able to describe other than I really dislike it.
I'm glad I can drink reds because I generally like them much better.

Shootings in Paris seem unbelievable. I'm finding myself echoing shrift with her Holy Shit!
White wines for winter: I like dry reislings, Alsatian in particular can be very yum. But I also like chardonnay, so my taste may not mesh with yours.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Waiting to hear from my family in Paris. It is not unlikely that one or more cousins was out and about in those areas, or at the soccer game, or at the concert hall where 60 people are being held hostage. I know it's a big city, but I'm not quite rational about it at the moment.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope you hear from them soon, with good news, Maria.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibing hard for them, Maria.
