Salsa, so sorry to hear about your kitty. Right now, I have a cat who is about 12 years old.. She may live to be 20 but then she might start failing soon. Cats just don't live long enough!


My back was starting to improve but then yesterday was a most stressful day at work. Talk about out of control! Unfortunately that meant i was doing a lot of ladder work and stretching too. So Now I am ready to get on a transcontinental jet with a screaming back. must pack advil...
I have been doing the exercises prescribed by KY, they are helping, but sometimes life just makes everything worse!
DH changed his return flight to 9am, so at least we won't be scurrying around in the airport in a panic!

To X, who I think asked, I am going to Calabria via Milan for a week. Friends in Milan, relatives (and friends) in Calabria. This shy person is going to attempt to forge new friendships with her second language.

My lucky SS will get some bauble that i can pick up in Italy that doesn't weigh a lot.
I am terrified that my cousins are going to give me olive oil as gifts (VERY HEAVY AND did I tell you that my sacroiliac is screaming?)

One more little goody. I entered in a "Design a Bianchi Bike" contest some months ago, and unlike our friend Fat Bottomed Girl, i did not win. Therefore, I am not going to be the proud owner of a custom Bianchi anytime soon. It was fun to do though, so if they have a contest next year, I'll try again.
