Things go right....almost

Today Jason took the girls to school and I headed off to the foreign police to get my visa renewed. This is a relatively easy process for us since Jason's company takes care of a lot of the leg work. I showed up and met a lady who took me inside where I signed a few forms and then I was done. It was nice and easy.



I left there and decided I was going to get myself a strudel. A few years back I had watched a show that was done in Prague and during the show the woman bought a strudel that was suppose to be delicious. I had asked Jason to go there on his many trips to Prague but he never did. He always said it was too far out of the way. Well, after hounding him, we moved here and I realized he was right and after two years I had never made it over to get a strudel. Today was my day though and I had time so I decided to find the strudel shop. It was just a couple blocks away from the foreign police. It is really just a window that you step up to and buy your fresh strudel. I bought 2 apple strudels but on second thought I should have bought one apple and one cheese but that means I will just have to go back! He handed me the strudel which was about 10" long and it was still warm! I was very excited. I bit into it and there was real apple chunks not just apple mush. It was delicious! It was cheap too at only 42Kc ($2.20USD). I will have to make another trip over there soon to buy a cheese strudel. Now that I know exactly where it is, it isn't that far out of the way.

After purchasing my strudel I headed over to the ambulance company offices (the ambulance that took me to the hospital after the truck accident) to give them my insurance card. They apparently shouldn't haven't given me a bill but should have accepted my insurance card on the spot. But, it was easy enough to head to their offices. The lady at reception walked me down to the right person to speak with and he copied my insurance card, took the bill and I was done.

This is where the "almost" comes in....As I was walking back to the metro to give Jason a strudel I got a call from the kids school. Ali is sick. I had to go pick her up from school. (Jason will have to eat his strudel later.) I brought Ali home and let her watch movies. I was hoping she would fall asleep and so I was rubbing her head. Just as her eyes were closing and she appeared to dose off, the throw up came flying out of her mouth! On her, on me and on the couch. So, like I said, things are going right...almost! Let's hope we can contain Ali's illness to just one child and it doesn't spread throughout our house.
