French apartment renovations, Day 502: Too busy today

9,302 steps

Another one of those days where I feel like I'm going to explode with everything I have going on. In a good way, mostly.

Eric and I tackled the kitchen window opening, making it square (which it wasn't) and level (which it wasn't). We also framed in the exterior part of the mezzanine that separates what used to be one big window into 2 smaller windows (the kitchen window below, the bedroom window above). It took some head-scratching but we got there in the end. Then, after I had installed the flexible vent pipe for the range hood, we put those last pieces of drywall up!

I ran an errand after lunch to pick up a "cadre noeud marin," which displays various nautical knots in a sort of shadowbox. It will go into the WC of Le Catamaran. I bought it from a woman whose dad was a sailor.

Baya went home today and we got some wild blueberry jam and organic peanut butter as a thank-you.

I brought Zari to one of my favorite little thrift stores. She's low on summer clothes and by some miracle, we found 2 pairs of shorts and 6 shirts. We practically broke the bank at 25 Euros!

Eric had to take Dio shoe shopping since his feet are bursting out of the athletic shoes that we bought him this past year. His feet are at least 1 size bigger than mine now!

After school, Ivy went to the beach with her grandparents and swam for a good while. I still haven't gone in the water yet this year.
