The day of the long, after-work nap

The draw of my bed was too strong for me to resist upon getting home from work today. I think I fell into bed around 7:00 pm and it's already 9:57 pm! Oh my.

This morning I experimented with eating oatmeal for breakfast. First I tried to make it on the stove in our floor's shared kitchen, but I couldn't figure out how to work the stove. Then I realized they have this brilliant contraption called a microwave! I haven't had a microwave for years, so I forgot how useful they were. After a quick google to figure out how best to cook oatmeal in the microwave, I was on my way. 

 

I'm actually very impressed with how the oatmeal turned out, so I will share what I did even though it isn't a unique Parisian thing. I dumped what looked like a sufficient amount of Old Fashioned Oats into a bowl and then added enough water to barely cover the oats. I then let it cook in the microwave for 2.5 minutes on high. Once that was done, I added a splash of goat's milk and a small spoonful of lavender honey and voilà! A bowl of delicious oatmeal was made.

Work was very sciency and fun again. We went to a little street near the University called Rue Mouffetard for lunch. I ordered a quiche lorraine and a 0.5 kg bag of cherries for lunch. It was super! However, I very unfortunately did not bring my camera to work today so I didn't get to take pictures of this street where I bought lunch. I know better than to make that mistake again. It is a very cute street with fruit venders and bakeries galore. I plan to go back to visit this frozen foods store I keep hearing about called Picard. I'll bring my camera next time.

There was champagne and cake at the end of the work day to celebrate a coworker's last day. After that, I came home and fell asleep. Now, I should really go to sleep again. 

Good night!
