Home again, home again, jiggity jig jig

Is there anything better than waking up, throwing back the curtains and seeing this? Notice the blue sky and the lack of rain! You're not in Bretagne anymore ksam.
I got in late last night, and man, was it nice to sleep in my "own" bed. Btw, to update you guys, the mom is letting me stay here until the 24th (yay) in exchange for watching the childrens (boo).

It is so nice to be back in Paris. It's like a completely different planet. My trip to Bretagne is already starting to feel miles away. For those of you that don't know, over the past year, I've slowly been transitioning from my role of interpreter to being an actual full-time technician for The Company. It's very challenging, especially since I don't have an engineering background, but I seem to have a knack for it. So this time around, I visited 7 clients on my own, and I'm extremely happy with how it went. I really feel like I can offer them much better service than they've received in the past, and I think they're excited about it as well (well, as excited as a French person can be, lol).

As I was leaving Bretagne Thursday evening, I drove through a huge storm - I started thinking "Oh man, it's getting dark and I've got another couple hours to drive in this", when all of the sudden, I noticed this huge, absolutely beautiful, double rainbow in front of me. Arcing right over the "Welcome to the Pays de la Loire" sign. I swear I almost started crying - there was so much significance in that big, churning storm behind me (ie the past & leaving Bretagne) and the beautiful rainbow I was driving towards (ie the future).

Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to work my new phone yet - plus I was driving in torrential rain - so the pic doesn't even come close to capturing its full glory. But I'm telling ya, it was massive and covered the entire sky. And then yesterday, just a few minutes before arriving at the train station, the exact same thing happened. Another huge storm, followed by a massive, arcing rainbow in front of me. I haven't seen a rainbow in years, and here I see two in less than 24hrs. It's so cheesy, but I really can't help thinking it's like a sign that the worst is behind me and better things are up ahead.I don't know about you, but I'm crossing my fingers.
