Jeanne has been doing slipper chores for weeks now. When I got home this afternoon, she surprised me by giving me my slippers without me asking for it.
Michelle was off to Divisoria with Yvette. So I’m left with Jeanne. When she woke up, I prepared breakfast of hard boiled eggs, sausages, and orange juice. She drank the juice, of course, and ate the egg but didn’t like the sausages. After breakfast, we played/read till she eventually got tired/bored, I then gave her milk and she napped, her usual pattern. Michelle was supposed to arrive with lunch by noon but she got delayed so we ended up having the chicken adobo I cooked for dinner the night before.
Michelle’s mom is out taking care of Yorick who was sick. When she’s not around, we usually leave Jeanne at Auntie Tita’s but they’re also unavailable for the next two days. So I took the day off to babysit and Michelle will take the next day off.
Jeanne was napping when I received Michelle’s message that Jeanne’s urinalysis results have arrived and the doctor said she has UTI and would need to take antibiotics. I prepared my baby bag– a re-purposed Crumpler camera bag– dressed up Jeanne, drove to Serendra, and parked. We then walked the short distance to the Mercury at Market! Market! to buy the antibiotics.
But who am I kidding? It doesn’t matter where they are, what they’re doing, and what the human drama is. The whole point are the cars. And cars are still the best thing about the series and this movie. There are cars aplenty: Italian cars, German cars, Japanese cars, and, of course, American cars (but no Korean?). The stunts are over the top and I sometimes chuckled about the ridiculousness of it all. But by the end of the movie there’s no denying I had fun.
Just after lunch yesterday, Michelle called that the Sentra’s engine was smoking and it stank. Signs of an overheat. Good thing she had already stopped the car. So I just asked her to let the engine cool, replenish the water in the coolant reservoir, and proceed to the parking.
Some helpful passersby also advised her to pour water over the radiator but I’m not too sure that helped much. Since the engine is off, coolant (if there is any left) is not circulating and that would mainly cool down the radiator and not the engine.
