I breathe again...

My utter planning fail has not screwed me over! There are still vacation rentals available in Paris for the first three weeks of June. I sent out half a dozen inquiries and have two responses so far, one in the upper Marais (around Arts et Métiers/République) and one on the Rue Mouffetard. Waiting on a response for a few others, including one right across from Saint-Merry. Of all of them, the Arts-et-Métiers one is the likeliest candidate and definitely looks the least like it was decorated by a student on an IKEA binge, but I am willing to give up aesthetics for location if the Saint-Merry one is available.

Edit: Also I finished Splendeurs et Misères and by the end of it not only was the editor on board with the gay, most of the footnotes were about double entendres that I wouldn't have caught. And speculation about the size of the characters' genitalia. Whaaat.
