The Adventures of Bexico, Bubba y Max: martes, el 31 de julio de 2012

120 volts? Nobody told me it was 120 volts!!

Buenos noches mis amigos.

After much discussion, and the clarica of “a passage of time”, click HERE to read up on why we say “an hour” vs “a hour”.

Yup, that’s what we do around here once the lil’guy is asleep. Ja ja ja

So how are we all doing? Max is great, loving life and seeming to learn new things every day.

Madre? Tired and her back is still sore, but loving the lil’hombre and always amazed at how beautiful he is. She has a trickle of work coming in and is currently working on some greeting cards for one client, some character design and an animation for another, and some misc work for existing clients.

Bubba? Another long sleep and felt pretty good all day. Still fighting whatever this bug is that I have, and will hit the doctor’s oficina if I am not better in 2 days.

Which doctor? I will probably hit up the local’s doctor first. $30 pesos and it is attached to Similar Farmacia. All the local’s I talk to, don’t have the $$ to go to the private doctors, and swear by these guys. We have been there twice before and both times Bex got better…and did not lose any toes!! Ja ja ja

Today Max and I shimmied into the otra recamara at 5am’ish and let madre get her zzzz’s. We had some CN time and at 7am we were up and at ‘em.

A good morning rutina and at 915am we went down for siesta #1. Now, with such a good sleep last night, I am thinking it will be a 30 minute siesta.

Ahhh…no. It was an hour and that made me tarde for my 10am con Roman. No crisis as the meeting was next door and I don’t think I have been late for ANY meets and they on time!! Ja ja ja

Good review of electrical and some more brain storming and “ah-ha’s” such as a few submarine lights on posts to light up the deck around the alberca.

And NO plugs hidden behind beds…or installed at the same heights as the bed frames, meaning they cannot be used.

Let’s not forget that we are dealing with concrete buildings…no corrections once the bricks are laid. So getting everything correct now, is critical.

We will see the electrical plans once they are cleaned up, and will give them a final approval. It should be ready in 2 weeks…stay tuned.

835pm UPDATE

After falling asleep on the jug, Max…not me, he lost his soother and after plugging his pie hole, he circled the bed and finally found a nice spot to lay his head, and raise his bum.

Back to the day.

After the meet con Roman, it was time for the gym. Tough session, but it was overcast so at least it was not scorching hot.

No centro walk…pooped. So home it was and I puttered around until madre y Max returned from a quick shopping trip. Some bollo for padre’s cena and a new water pitcher for the fridge as I dropped and broke the other one today…doph.

Hello to siesta #3 for Max and I eagerly volunteered for this one. I could use the cat nap and it was a good 30 minutes. The batteries were juiced up and off to the alberca we went.

Max still enjoys the water, but is bored easily now, so crawling on the sidewalk around the pool has become more of his thing.

But he still enjoys a few minutes of splashing, floating, the chair and now taking a pool shower. He does not keep his mouth closed so he puts his head under the shower and smiles and giggles, and then starts waving his hands like he is about to fly, when he needs to get out. Hilarious to watch.

A good night rutina and we are managing to eat earlier (hello Manwich Sloppy Jose’s) and thus get Max into bed earlier.

Fotos.

The boys started the pruning early...730am as the sun was rising.

It took all day for Hector y Marciano to prune 3 palm trees...tough and dangerous job. But there were a lot of free cocos around the complex today.

WFSITBOTT?

Cabinets...lots of cabinets.

Tortillas...lots of tortillas.

Amy y Victor and caminoneta #2.

The boys dropped off our water today, came in for some quick chit chat and a glass of cold agua. Then they went about exploring Max's juguetes...toys.

We spent some time explaining a sock monkey and neither of them had seen a Jack in the Box before.

Throw in a few Quatchi's from the Whistler Olympics, and these Mexican hombres think we are nuts.

Talking about Olympicos...the Mexicans love watching the games.

Is $1.56 Cdn/kilo a good price for grapes?

Nicely displayed...I had to take a foto.

Not quite a lemonade stand, but close.

Not sure what kind of juices they are selling, but the middle on is probably coco. The honeycomb jars are very popular and you see them used by vendors all around town.

Madre?
