| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| I’ve been looking online to find out how to move to different countries. I’m looking at Paris and Montreal. I think that in both place I need a visa, and then I have to learn French. Those two things should not be difficult to achieve. I’ve been learning French lately and purchased books on learning French. I will need to know how to figure out what my visa type will be if I were to move to Paris. I will be needing to find a job and a place to stay – a rented apartment. The places to live tend to be various and some or more are expensive. The landlords usually require a large fee or rent of several months in order to reassure that the apartment will be secured. It will have to be that I may need to have a job to live there. The problem is that I have some language deficits which the employers will note and will put me behind other applicants. If I were to live there to set up my own business as a writer/publisher there are many documents that are required. The list is long and it might take me some time to get these gathered. The embassies are not many to get the visa application completed and paid for. There should not be a problem for me because I live close to one branch of the Embassy of France. In Montreal there is an immigration visa that looks easier to do and this seems to be lacking in the French visa types. If I had a family member who was French or a husband that was French then it would not be that hard to move to Paris. I do not have family members who are French and I’m not married. I do not wish to find some weird thing that a few people do which is to get some stranger in Paris to agree to be your husband – that’s not an option. I must remind you that I am going through a great deal of harassment living in the USA. I might have to apply for asylum which I’ve sent the President of France a letter asking him to consider me as an applicant for asylum. The letter has been sent a few days ago, maybe a week ago. I hope that he will see this letter and it will be given a serious review. |
| After some blogging and looking at the videos online, I'm getting hungry. I've got some bacon and sausages on the griddle. I'm thinking it could help keep me from being hungry later on. I've read that a high fat/protein menu helps to control hunger. In my biology classes I've learned that fat slows transit time through the intestinal system which somehow doesn't signal hunger pangs. I have not weighed myself for a while because I've lost my weighing scale - the one that's a simple one. I have one that's connected to the WiFi but I bought it before we changed WiFi systems and it also connected with my now out of circulation FitBit. I used to get so into the FitBit and unfortunately it isn't great for the long run. I don't think I'd recommend it but it's probably good enough for some uses. I also invested in an Apple watch which I bought from Sams Club but that too wasn't great because it always had to get charged up and so it never measured anything if I let it charge overnight. It's somewhere in my junk pile and it's a sad thing that I got caught up into this Apple gadgetry. I resisted Apple products for a number of years even though others liked to use them. I hung on to my Blackberry and I still have it but they don't have much use now. So I can't say how much weight I've lost if any. I won't reveal my last weight it's too much to say and I'm not sure it's relevant. i do have a love for carbs and I do like breads, rice, couscous, quinoa and I've been known to shop and get lost in the bakery. I'd bring home two kinds of breads - some really rather good like artisan breads and rolls. I wish I could bake more but the oven's not working. It didn't work before last Thanksgiving. It was fortuitous we didn't plan on a turkey. We don't wish to eat turkey as it's too big a menu item for merely two of us. My stepdad doesn't like turkey much. I made turkey breast in a slow cooker one Thanksgiving. That was good. I followed the directions and it didn't require much more than water and some salt and pepper, if any. It was a Butterball turkey breast. It was the only one left in the grocery store freezer. I had been on the fence about what to cook for Thanksgiving that time. Then I gave into an impulse and went the day before Thanksgiving. I was lucky to get that frozen turkey breast. I also wasn't sure I would make anything because my stepfather had a dental problem and I worried he'd not be able to eat properly. The story behind that is rather hilarious but he'd kill me if I revealed the story here. Haha. That Thanksgiving I made a recipe from Dr Oz's magazine. It was a pasta dish with sausage. Stepdad liked it and he was able to eat everything despite his dental problem. I think if we were to have something for Thanksgiving we'd do the same sort of menu. I fixed the usual favorites like green bean casserole and then also had cranberry sauce. I don't like the cranberry salad they serve in places and in other homes. I'm very much a tinned cranberry sauce fan. Stepfather and I like to slice it into discs and have it with dinner. And we also served stuffing. I eat stuffing sometimes instead of rice or other carbs. I love stuffing. I think if I had my choice I'd eat some carbs at each meal. I hope that we can have a good Thanksgiving this year. I look forward to the Fall weather. And then winter will arrive. I'm very much a cold weather freak. I'll have a sweater on even in the summer, haha. I also like boots and that is my bad habit. One time I kept ordering, returning boots from Amazon and that other shoe website. The boots weren't quite right and so I would return and order another one. I think I went through Amazon's boot selections and that I have to say was the last time I went into a boot frenzy. I think boots are great fashion items anyway. I don't like going out in the cold with bare legs. I hardly wear hose. Unless they're tights or leggings. I actually live in leggings. I am totally not into the fashion thing unless it's something that I can lounge in. Idon't have a formal workplace so nobody sees me much. I don't like going around in jeans, sweatshirts and sneakers. I think that's rather a dull outfit. I'll have to see if there's more to talk about next time. I think some thoughts are not happy that I'm blogging about my fashion choices. It's possibly an impression. A few of the thoughts are wondering when to make me sad. I might just cross the line to get them to do it. I've already caused one of them a hissy fit. He's not a good thought. Must fly. |
