Snow Melt

Morning Ritual

Kamál (Perfection), 10 Mashiyyat (Will), 165 B.E. – Monday, October 6, 2008 about 6:10 PM Pacific Time

I have a new morning ritual. I get up before dawn and wait for the sun to come up. I'm actively waiting, by which I mean I'm either working on line, saying prayers or doing something else. When dawn arrives, I go outside and open the hood of my car. Then I take the cap off the radiator and look in to see if it has water.

If the radiator doesn't have water, which is a normal condition since I need a water pump and it loses water, I add water. Sometimes I add coolant, but six days out of seven I add water. The problem now is that I can't remember when I last added coolant. I think it was last week sometime, but I'm not sure when. Tomorrow only places I'm going to drive it is to work and the dentist.

I have a dental appointment at 1:00 PM so I'm going to the dentist right after work. After I get off work I'll check the water level in the radiator again and see if it needs water. Then I will go to the dentist and after I get out of the dentist, I'll check it again if it's cooled down enough for me to open the radiator.

Today it lost water after I got home from work, but I added water before we went to the bank at 4:00 PM. The weird thing is that it didn't lose water at the bank nor when I stopped at Albertson's to pay my Power Bill. I just love the fact that I can go into the supermarket and pay my power bill. However, I think I'm going to pay next month's power bill online.
