Well, the post title says it all. I’ve been super busy. With fun and not-so-fun stuff (but nothing to do with my own health…no worries there, at least!).

I finally handed in the website translation…one of the hardest things I’ve ever done…but it’s over and done with, as the saying goes. Phew! 

A few days ago I started reading an interesting new study but haven’t finished writing my report on it yet. I won’t be able to work on it tomorrow, either. Tomorrow a friend and I are going out of town (we’re driving down to Monte Amiata, in southern Tuscany) to attend the funeral of another friend’s father who died in the hospital last night. The poor man had been in a lot of pain for quite some time…very sad…

I must say, this has not been a very good period. But I always see the light at the end of the tunnel. And that’s the main thing…

Okay, for a bit of cheer, here’s a photo I took just the other day of our eldest kitty, Puzzola (11 or 12 years old). Isn’t she pretty? (She’s lying on a cat toy, which sticks out on the right…in case you were wondering WHAT that was… 😉 )
