Christmas Presents, McDonalds, AntiFreeze and Split/Second

Tamika drove me to work yesterday.

The kids got so many presents at the Pinkney Christmas that we needed to take a second trip. Our car had already been full from 3 weeks of travel in Canada, so there wasn’t much room at all. Miss Apit (our neighbor) let the kids stay overnight with her. After dropping me off at work, she headed north, and met her Dad in Delaware, and loaded up the Subaru with the gifts. It took her most of the day to get there and back, sadly, traffic was completely miserable, and she was late picking me up.

We caved and picked up McDonalds, too tired to figure out anything else. We stopped to get gas on the way home, and I realized the coolant was empty. The gas station attendant let us use his hose to fill it up, and I hopped a fence and borrowed a cup from a Chinese carryout next door to mix the anti-freeze. That stuff weirds me out! Whatever chemicals are in it make it practically glow under any light.

We put the kids right to bed when we got home, and then watched another couple episodes of Caprica. Still like it, though it’s got a couple vulgar scenes. Tamika and I have also been playing Split/Second (which is oddly made by Disney?) against each other. I’m still in the lead, but she’s catching up… 🙂
