Getting back

I know a weekly report is not the best way to show "getting back on track" but that's what it is.

Science remarks are color transformations being worked out and paper commenting almost done.

Personal remarks are a lot of paper work and "stuff" processed and some quality time spent with my son. Not as much as I would like to, but some.

Also this week I've been in Garching for a talk about funding options from FP7 and managed to talk to some people I care about.

Not forgetting a new application.

Still alive

No! I didn't die in the trip to Austria! Also didn't moved there and disappeared!! :-))

Basically we came back on monday (last easter day in Germany), took a nice ride to the Alps on tuesday to see some castles there and so. Fernanda had some pain in the legs and back during the trip, which increased with time. On wednesday we came back to the neurosurgeon, immediate MRI and the disc hernia was back ... one last try to avoid a new surgery failed and she went back to surgery 10 days ago.

Parents visiting also demands some attention (thanks god they were here and gave us a big help with the surgery issue), specially when a vulcan stops the European air traffic and seem they would be stranded here. That was also some stress.

So, pre/post surgery tension + almost stranded parents stress mostly prevents you from doing anything else.

During this time I've been playing with some colors transformation from models, density maps, UCDs paper and now reading Elif's (Kutdemir, at the moment at ESO) paper.

Hopefully tomorrow life comes back into track!
