I wasn't super hungry in the morning so I decided to keep fasting a bit longer until lunch. And then I enjoyed leftover chicken & bell pepper fajitas (minus the tortillas because I'd rather eat the good stuff) and dark chocolate with peanut butter for my lunch.
We have the rails almost installed--all holes drilled, a few crowns chiseled down. But they are not yet screwed in all the way as we're waiting for some of the MAP to set overnight. Tomorrow we'll shim everything in as we go and then start hanging cabinets!
Speaking of shims...I can't for the life of me find them here! I called every hardware store in central Nice, and either they didn't have them, or they had these huge plastic wedges that looked more like doorstops than shims. Even the big Leroy Merlin doesn't have wood shims that resemble anything like a shim I am used to working with (you know, a thin piece of wood that tapers down to nothing on one end and is maybe 5mm thick on the thickest end).
So we're just going to have to make our own shims!
Zari had her second first day of class--this week most of her classes start (but not all of them!). It's really confusing because classes start over a span of several weeks, not all at once. She was on Valrose campus today, which is a gorgeous space with beautiful buildings that look more like castles than university classrooms. A nice change from some of her other campuses that were built in the 1960s.
Dio has a terrible crick in his neck and can't turn or tilt it to one side. We were able to get him in to see our kiné friend this afternoon. He's still in a lot of pain and his head is tilted to one side! Poor kid.
Ivy and Inga had orthodontist appointments today. Inga switched over to clear elastics, while Ivy went with dark blue.
