Uffa!

Ok, ok, ok... everything will turn out fine... always... at least hope is the last to die... or should be.
The car is definitively dead! Something in the engine is totally broken and can be repaired only by buying a new engine... which is crazy because it will cost me more than double the price of the car.
So once again I have to deal with the dependence on the modern comfort that should let us more free. At least I hope my spirit will be moulded so to be wiser after all.
I actually was hoping to use the car until october when I'll find out more about the job, so that if I will have a permanent contract then I could think about buying a new small car but if I won't have the contract or will be jobless again I won't be able to buy the car and maybe won't need it.
So here I am again with projects... but I think God is insisting on me so that I need to ultimately give my burdens to Him, and need to let go of desires, and something beautiful will happen.
So...back on the bike ride... but I also let you imagine the hot and humidity here in those days and how tiring it is to simply ride a couple of kilometers... but I'll do it, I'm strong and healthy and need to make some more sacrifices.

So next.... Job: from july first the company will transform my contract from part-time (25hours per week) to full time (40hours) that means extra money!!!!! And this is good. Of course since we are very few employees compared to the work we have to do, it's gonna be an hell throughout the all summer, but in this case money will win.

About Monocolo: looks like he's doing better, he has no diarrhea even if his coat it's not at the best. He'll come to Rome with us next thursday.

What else? Ah Arianna's wedding on july 1st. I'll be the witness at her ceremony so do you think I found a dress for the occasion? No of course! I'm pooped! I went around and I don't like the fashion of the moment + it looks like all women are skinny (only very small sizes) and breastless not to mention the prices.... so I don't know what to wear...+ I have this 'working tan' which looks like I wear a t-shirt also without it:-) I'm a little desperate.

If this is not enough, I still have to finish a lot of things related to my wedding...
But the good news is that the priest who taught us the pre-wedding course accepted to celebrate our wedding and I know for sure this will be an added blessing. He is fun and simply and this is what we like.
This whole wedding experience and expecially the spiritual one is really thrilling me. Even if Andrea and I are already living together and know each other pretty well (as well as it is possible to 'know' your dear ones) and most of the people keep telling us that it won't change a lot... well, I think it will change a lot. The commitments we are going to promise are big and they really involve each other will and love. I am happy and proud and enthusiastic for what we are going to do!

I like what you said about commitments, and things changing even though you already live together.

We call a tan like yours a "farmer tan" (I come from an agricultural community). I used to get those every summer from playing soccer and picking strawberries.

Wishing Monocolo good health...
