Medicated

(soft whiny voice) “Oooo… my tummy really hurts…”

“I’m so sorry, kiddo. Where does it hurt?”

(soft whiny voice) “oooo… everywhere… oooooo”

“What do you think would help your tummy?”

(loud and clear) “SKITTLES.”

But you know… it’s hard to argue with a six year old in a hospital bed.

The Arrival

I have arrived!!!

Little Miss Thing is demanding back scratches and piggy back rides. So she’s mostly back to normal.

We’re mostly just waiting for some test results.The doctors are really happy with how she’s responded to the medicine, so no surgery. Probably released tomorrow. But someone is pretty grumpy about being in the hospital for 2 days of her Florida vacation.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and suggestions and whatnot.

The Layover, Miami Style

Landed in Miami for my 3-hour layover! Definitely the closest I’ve ever been to the Equator. REALLY HUMID. Not a lot of Vikings here. Now to find some fabulous Cuban food without leaving TSA zone.

UPDATE: Found a delicious, colorful Cuban lunch for my layover: La Carreta Restaurant. I had a  breaded pork chop, split pea soup, beans and rice, veggies. It’s airport Cuban, but it’s  still Cuban! Yes, I got flan for dessert!
