four hours (non-stop)


8:30am
bell rang at jaki's school. kissed him goodbye.

8:43am
pediatrician's clinic. the doctor will arrive at 9am.
i'm still early.

9:15am
my turn. the medical visits are free here in public hospitals, but you have to get a medical doctor's authorization (l' impegnativa del medico). otherwise, you need to go to a private doctor and pay for it. i've been to a private one once: dermatologist- 125euro for a visit.

i asked for my daughter a follow-up visit request, to the allergologist. it's about the red rashes on her face.


9:30am
i arrived at the Sacco Hospital. i know where exactly (i thought so) where to go for the appointment request so i went directly to the pediatrics section.


i can still smell the new paint around the hospital


oh! there has been a change. i found a notice that the exempted for the payments are accepted near the main gate. kids and pregnant women are always exempted for hospital bills.
i got back to the main gate again and found the new office.


first come, first serve. "get your number here"


got my number: 664


no long lines. only two women and a man before me.
got to read something in the waiting area...

it's almost 9:48am


finally my turn. just 5 minutes and i got an appointment.
april 29, 2010, thursday at 12 noon


10:15am
i decided to go to Lidl (german grocery) nearby. the prices here are lower than
other italian grocery stores.


dilemma: what flavor is this?
it's a german toothpaste.
the only english written here is "for kids". i went for instincts. the color is red, i guess i got the strawberry flavor.


10:30am
long line at the cashier


here's what i bought:

minicrisps biscuits
bucaneve biscuits
pantene shampoo
snickers chocolates
baby wipes

total : 10.93euro


11:00am
arrived home. i'm starving. cooked meat balls fast and eat. went out again to buy fresh milk. there's no fresh milk at LIDL where i shopped earlier.
went to Nectar grocery store. my daughter zendra got her balloon!


11:30am
back home. hanged the clothes that i washed.
dressed up kiara and let her take a nap.

12:30noon
finally sitting infront of my laptop!
