Today was a rainy gloomy day here in Paris. Thursdays I teach my terror class. I get a stomach ache just thinking about this group of kids. I feel like I’m in a zoo when teaching them. Only 12 more classes with them. Thank God. Well our sink has been broken for 2 weeks it won’t drain. I finally called the plumber today from work (since our phone is turned off). After he replaced the plastic pipe for the sink this afternoon, he told me “c’est toi que me pai.” I said that would have been nice to know that before my landlord told me to make an appt with him. He said he would give me a discount 130 euros instead of 140 (for a plastic pipe)! Then he said our shower was broken- he needs to replace the whole sink and drain. Can’t wait for that bill. Just got home from dragging two bags of heavy laundry to the “laverie” where one load costs 6 euros. Another perk about the laverie is that it takes 90 minutes for the washer. Just want to give you an idea of the joys of everyday life in Paris.
