Amanda took LK to gymnastics and kiddie gym at the Rainier Community Center this morning while I stayed home to get some work done (since I was entertaining the Kai during the past three snow days). The weather has warmed up considerably and all the ice melted before evening. I did shovel the driveway in the morning in case it did freeze up in the evening (but it didn’t).

I was able to fix the rear bumper on our car at last. I had picked up the parts yesterday and the weather cooperated. Unfortunately, a big plastic weather guard on the underside of the car that I thought was undamaged actually was broken on one of its connection points, so it could conceivably pop off on one side and cause a lot of noise and/or rip off while driving. I ended up just epoxying it to the frame, but I don’t think it will hold for long. I guess I had better order the part and replace it asap. The car could drive without it, but it does block a lot of weather from hitting a probably important component (I think it is the fuel pump), so I really should replace it.

AC-MC family came over for pizza dinner. Now I am trying to get more stuff done. Amanda and the kitties are sleeping on the couch beside me.
