I need to get out of the house today. I decided to see a matinee movie at 12:45 pm. I think I'll see "Green Book" since it won at the Oscars. My hubby isn't interested in it, so I don't mind going alone.

The French school director referred my inquiry to a French instructor who may offer me private instruction. I confess to being a little nervous about contacting her. She wants me to call rather than email. I feel like I'll need to prepare ahead of time. Actually, now I almost wish I could attend the daytime group classes at the much lower level, but I've already inquired about private instruction and am not sure if the director would even allow me in the lower group. The private instructor's email to me was brief, just asking me to call her, but her English in that simple email was rather poor. If that's the case, the private class would likely be much more intensive with expectations of speaking only French. That's high stress for me having to be "on" constantly, if you know what I mean.

I finally decided to thaw a huge turkey that had been in my freezer for almost a year. I put it in the fridge three days ago. It was my plan to invite my dad and brother, yet I'm yet to do so. The bugger is going to be thawed before the weekend. I must cook/roast it, but I now feel a little intimidated by the huge project. It's a big turkey!

I just got off my scale. It wasn't as bad as I expected, but it wasn't good.
