1:14 > Should I do it?
1:14:30 > F-it. I have to.
It’s Friday. I’m leaving for New York for two weeks tomorrow. Oh, you know, just a couple small things going on like a photo shoot with two creative geniuses and my best friend’s wedding. Plus, I’ll be working in between those events. So I have a lot to wrap up before I go. And work is crazy as always.
I got my dress for the wedding yesterday. Which made it very clear that I needed shoes to go with it. Which meant, yes, I should go back to the 7th arrondisement for that pair I tried on on Saturday but deemed too expensive. I might be able to find a pair in New York, but I might also be too crazed. Did I mention it’s my best friend’s wedding? And I’m giving a toast? I need to look and feel great.
I had a meeting at 2 and had been planning to dash over at lunch but suddenly it was after 1. Should I try to scramble across town, or put it off (and stress overnight) until the morning, before my flight?
1:14:30 > F’it. I have to.
1:20 > Hopped on a Velib and pedaled over to the seventh. Waoh. Fast, fun, what a gorgeous day!
1:28 > Grab that last free opening at the Velib station and ditch the bike
1:33 > Am trying on the shoes for a second time. Yup, still love them.
1:39 > Oh, okay, pop into another store real quickly.
1:44 > Back on a Velib! Back to the second!
1:52 > Rats, no openings at that Velib station.
1:53 > Merde, no openings at that one either.
1:54 > Yay! Opening! Ditch the Velib, three blocks from the office
1:55 > Grab a salad a emporter from the “design your own” place I found the other day.
2:01 > Back in time, fortification and shoes in hand, for the meeting. Though the rest of the crew is still at lunch.
