Well, my two weeks in the U.S. is up. I’m leaving for Italy tonight.

This hasn’t exactly been an enjoyable, relaxing holiday. Three weeks ago (that is, right before we left for the U.S.), my Dad came down with the same nasty cold and cough I’ve had now for the past month and a half. So the two of us have spent most of our time here in the U.S. coughing and sputtering all over the place…No fun! This bothersome bugger must be some sort of virus…I mean, nothing has gotten completely rid of it. I’ve been on three different antibiotics and even some cortisone…oh, and my phlegm test turned out negative…

Still, I cough…bah.

Well, anyway, the important thing is that Dad is feeling better. For a while there, I thought I was going to have to postpone my return trip to Italy, which would have been difficult (though not impossible) mainly because of my job…

But no, he’s feeling better, and his chest X-ray was fine. So I’ll be back in Firenze tomorrow afternoon…I’m leaving for the airport in about an hour.

Sooooo, have a lovely weekend, everyone!!! Ciaoooooo! 🙂
