My schedule is way off here in Italy. Usually I’m a morning person and in bed by ten. But with so many clients in the U.S. and coordinating an event in New Zealand, I’ve seen 11 pm come and I’m still on the phone. Dying to get in bed, but with a to-do list still stacked in front of me. Meh, it’s ok.

Rather than fight against it, I decided to adapt to this latest chapter. Sure I like to get up early and work, but not isn’t the time to do it. Instead I cut myself some slack in the morning understand that I will working when normally I’m sleeping.

I worked my face off this week. All kinds of exciting projects along with business and personal tax prep work thrown in. And now, all the papers are safely in the hands of the accountant and I’m off to gad about Italy for a bit. I do love to gad.

Rome was of course a great idea last weekend. We shot some music videos on the street like maniacs using the Triller app. Then proceeded to a speakeasy hidden behind a cabinet in the back of Osteria delle Coppelle. FYI-the bathroom is behind the bookcase, just pull the knob.

We moved to another country mid-week. Rather than movers and a truck, we packed all our stuff in suitcases, schlepped them to the airport and paid our checked baggage fees. Best money I ever spent. Oh, you want to move my things from one side of the world to another for the low low price of $200? THANK YOU! Take them! All of them!
