So, I was going to be a little bit wistful this morning, because my lovely German couple that I talk to over breakfast got up early today to drive to the falls and I was at the table surrounded by people who were in groups and wouldn't/couldn't speak English (Chinese to the right, French to the left) and I found another grey hair in my bangs this morning (we're not even looking at the rest of it!) and it's my tenth solo Couple Day today and grey and cloudy to boot after yesterday's gorgeous weather... but then my German couple asked for my contact details and gave me theirs, and Stefan the host was sweet as always and my hair is looking awesome after I blow dried it, plus, you know, I'm in Quebec, so bah to being whiny. Besides, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] said I'm not allowed. ;)
(I'm still avoiding Facebook. They have a meme where people in relationships are replacing their photos with couple pics and my self-esteem is still new and fragile and I know my limits. :P )
I chose well for my place of V-Day fleeing - Winter Festival is much more important here and there isn't the scads of advertising/reminders that Toronto had. Besides, there are cute waiters who like my accent and look after my non-French-speaking self.
Plans for today: I'm going to wander up and down Rue St Jean, the shopping district, until I get tired and hungry, and then I'm going to find a place to eat and read and write a bit (since today is 52 Pick Up Day and I have my Idea) as well as my French homework, and then I'm going to wander around some more and maybe buy a bigger handbag and take photos, and then I'm going to find another place to hole up for a bit and have a couple of drinks and write up my Quebec notes into something resembling a post or three, and then depending on how I'm feeling, either come back for my nap (I've been napping for a couple of hours every afternoon to warm back up and it's been really good for me) or stay out and find a place for dinner since I can't go to the amazing sushi place for dinner three times in a four-night trip, even if the cute head waiter remembers me.
I'm definitely going to go back to the crepe place on St Jean, the one where this photo came from last year, tho'. Coffee! As big as my head!
