This week back in Venice is almost over, and it went faster than usual. I had a lot of appointments, and that really made the time fly. I went to the bank and I had to spend a whole hour there before they finally did what I went there for; then I had the plumber over and guess what, I have to remake the whole methane gas tubes system thingy, because the house was built in the seventies and it's not safe anymore. Bye bye money. The plumbers will have to come back next time I'm here, and check the chimney, and then we can start installing the new tubes.

On sunday my aunt and uncle came here too, so that today they could go to the cemetery in Venice and make arrangements for my mom's tombstone. I did that twice already, for my dad and my sister, and I seriously couldn't go through all that one more time. So they did everything for me, and then I got a lot of hugs when they came back home, and my aunt is going to make me frittelle because she loves to spoil me. I feel very loved! And while looking for a good picture of mom to put on the tombstone my aunt kept finding great pictures of yours truly that I didn't remember at all, so there was a silver lining. ^^

In fandom news I finally sat down and watched the last season of Person of Interest. I didn't watch it when it aired last spring because I was going through chemo, and watching something that I loved so much ending was definitely too much for my mindset back then. Now that I feel a lot better, I decided to give it a go, and yes, it was as beautiful and heartbreaking as I thought. The ending was a tiny bit different from what I thought it was going to be, but I loved it nonetheless. I'm so glad it could have a proper ending, but it was still a very bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to the team.

Argh, sometimes I hate all those 'adult' tasks and committments: going to the bank, talking to plumbers and carpenters, doing important stuff in the house (not to mention having to take important decisions like choosing a picture for a beloved person's tomb)! They all cause me a certain degree of anxiety, so I think I can understand how tired and stressed out you must be feeling after doing stuff like that. I'm so glad you've got your aunt and uncle spoiling you rotten and helping you with the bureaucracy. You deserve a break.

I haven't watched Person of Interest yet, but it's definitely on my list. I keep reading positive opinions on it, so I think I'll give it a go soon.

*big hugs*

Being an adult can suck sometimes. Even if I wouldn't do another day of highschool not for all the tea in China! *shudders*

Person of Interest was so good and I loved it so much, I'm still in mourning it's over. Even if it was a very satisying finale. But still, I miss them.

Fin quando ho avuto 18 anni i miei mi hanno sempre tenuto lontana da i posti da adulti, poi con l'università prima e il lavoro poi (e adesso dovendo accompagnare babbo ormai afono) mi son dovuta arrangiare.
Ti ammiro però perché io con la mia timidezza già riesco a dire al massimo 2 parole in banca o ai carpentieri...

Io non sono timida con gli estranei, il che aiuta, ma soprattutto divento una belva quando mi accorgo che qualcuno si sta approfittando o non mi sta prendendo sul serio perchè sono una donna, come fanno sempre in banca.

Gli idraulici invece sono molto gentili e mi trattano sempre con rispetto. Non chiedo la luna.
