The Adventures of Bexico, Bubba y Max: lunes, el 7 de mayo de 2012

Hola mis amigos.

The significance of this foto?

This is the face of a niño who had 3 vacunas today, including 2 needles into his chubby lil’thighs, and did NOT cry!! Actually the first needle was 100% without even a peep and the 2^nd one had a 2 second blip and then was followed with his usual expression of “is that all you got?”.

Getting up at 645am to get the lil’trooper his vacunas was that much better due to his demeanor.

Once at the hospital, we were 2^nd in line and Bex had a nice chat with a senorita who was waiting for her cita.

Once in the vacuna room we were greeted by the same hombre who has the “what are you white peeps still doing here?” look, but also by a nurse who is an amiga of Daniel.

Which is great because she takes good care of us, and….because I have asked Daniel to ask her 2 questions about the vacunas Max received today.

The cartilla said he would get an influenza shot today, but he did not. I asked when and the hombre said noviembre or diciembre. I suspect that this is when the vaccines are delivered to the hospital.

But after we left and I looked at his cartilla, I noticed that Max received another rotovirus shot, one that is not on the cartilla.

Not worried, but just want Daniel to ask his amiga por que. Stay tuned.

So home we went and even though it would have been a perfect time to head to el gimnasio, I was too tired so I grabbed some shut eye. And once awake, I was off to the gym.

Good workout and then a pit stop at Gabriels on the way home. First order of business…call the Policia Municipal. Por que? Because in the “friendly drunk” parque, was a drunk with no pants on. Trust me, no one needed to see that.

But it seems the locals just ignored it, but I thought about all the niños and when I went back to check, the policia had done their job.

Fridge update? $381 pesos gets us (maybe?) a fridge shelf from Puerto. The shelf is $15 in Canada, but we would still need to get it here…probably when some amigos come down in julio. Now we pay $29 Cdn, get it sent from Puerto and have the shelf in a few weeks. Stay tuned.

Came home from the centro and it was nap time for Max. He had been suffering no real side effects from the vacunas, but for an hour or so had been over antsy.

So off we went and what does a niño who has had 2 needles deserve? Hola to a chest nap!! The plan was a normal nap, madre would grab some shut eye as well, and then we would all hit the pool.

A “normal nap” is 20-30 minutes…can you say hola to a 75 minute nap? Score!!

The clouds had rolled in, but it was still nice and warm and we hit the pool. The lil’speedo wearer loves the pool and after he had splashed himself out, we took him upstairs for the rutina.

I popped out for a bollo for the chili, then dropped off the $$$ for Daniel to order the shelf, and then pit stopped at Santa Cruz…score on a DC and guess who has mil isla back in stock? Double score!!! Ja ja ja

Good dinner and then we let Max burn off some energy and he was lights out after his milkshake.

MISC

I read online that foreigners with FM3s can apply for IMSS…the public health service. Something to look into. Stay tuned.

Rainy season is coming!! At 7am and it was totally cloudy and no viento. It then became totally sunny and around 2pm the viento rolled back in, nice and fresco, and at 3pm it has clouded over again with some very dark nube over the local montaña.

Mango season continues.
