I had Dylan to vacuum the car for me , getting ready for our trip.  He said he was finished and usually he does a poor job, so I went to finish it up.  This time I must say that he did a pretty good job.  I decided I'd better check all under the hood because when mike had to drive it (he always messes up something) it was making a kind of rattling noise.  Under the hood I see the anti freeze cap was OFF!  No coolant what so ever.  Had to mix it up and got it to the right level, OMG my car would have overheated!  I was also a quart low on oil.  Now WHY do I HAVE to do the car maintance on TOP of everything else?  Jeez, why in the HELL did I marry this guy?  He's the type that thinks all he has to do is go to work and that's it!  Forget doing ANYTHING extra, man!  A few yrs back, I was sick then as well, and going on a trip, had him to check all, and my van overheated on interstate 95, no water at all.  Since then I have to do it all myself.  I know he's lazy but to risk mine and Patrick's LIVES?  Good grief!  After mixing the coolant he comes out (always when he's sure i'm just about done) and offers his help, yeah...anyway we're good to go, just have to check the air in the tires.

Kris called and is being VERY nice, maybe my message about how he hurt me so much hit home.  I told him about all I had to do to the car and how much I started hurting and he asked if I were still coming as he just couldn't wait to see us!  Completely different attitude.  I replied that I thought so but now with my returned pain I was no where near as jolly as before and he just got very quiet, hopefully realizing that it had been YRS since I had teased him and what a jerk he'd been.  Maybe this is going to be an exceptionally good trip after all!
