Another French Adventure.. to the doctor

Feb 17
7h wake in anticipation to go to the french doctor... dun dun duuuun.. its only scary because i have no idea why we have to go.. or wht they r going to ask me to do.. other than that it's for our visa... which apparently isn't complete until we see two doctors and pay 55euro for a stamp
8h30-12h class
12h30 salad for lunch.. steamed broccoli, almonds, dried cranberry, grated parm
13h00 begin quest to find the doctor... 9ish tram stops, turn right, turn left, second door of the building, 3rd floor (ps french 3rd floor is american 4th floor), first office on ur right
13h33 arrive at the reception... no one is there.. hm.. note to self... when they say your appointment is btw 13h30 and 15h30.. they mean show up whenever you want btw those two times... not you must be here starting at 13h30 and the doc will get you sometime before 15h30. cool.
13h40 man speaking french with british accent offers to find the receptionist.. success
13h45 go to waiting room.. succuss
13h50 some old french man with a very thick accent says "meeechel, briiitaniii" thas me!
14h despite the 1990's style computer on his desk, mr. doc voluntarily uses a pen and paper to write my name on the list of clients he's seen today.. then proceeds to use an ironically high-tech looking typewriter to fill out some paperwork for my file.. oops he made a mistake.. well he can just backspace.. oh wait... thas right, he's using a typewriter for letters and his computer... as a paperweight?
14h15 ready for my close up.. with the x-ray machine.. no im not wearing metal, no im not removing my clothes, no we dont do this at home..
14h30 all is well... results will be sent.. probably by horse and buggy to the next doctor, all is well and im free to leave... and despite the gloomy day and the sketchy area.. doc appointment went well so i am beaming with success


15h big carrefour for taco supplies! and guacamole, of course.. find of the day: jalapenos, habaneros and sour cream!
19h30 tintin comes over to join cheny and i for taco night... i made guacamole, shrimp tacos and super spicy beef tacos... this is wht happens when you keep adding pepper because it looks pretty
20h cheny and i try the beef tacos and begin sweating profusely... while anthony just keeps saying.. can i have another?
20h15 cheny is now chasing her wine with milk to stop the pepper burn and anthony is still saying.. can i have another
