I don’t believe in superstitions, so I’m not going to ask you to cross your fingers for me. But I’m not gonna lie: when total strangers out there say their rooting for me, it really does bolster my spirits. So if you care to shout, to repost this, to send a hug, I’m listening. Grazie mille.

Welp, I pulled a Tony Soprano today and fainted. Wasn't looking at ducks, just staring down the verdict that’s coming my way from Italy’s highest court tomorrow morning. It doesn't get easier, no matter how many times I’ve been through this.
