We have tickets to the Astros game tonight, and I’m scared. They’ve been playing so abysmally lately that I haven’t even been able to watch on TV. Halfway through the game, I find myself needing to change the channel. Eight games. They’ve now lost eight games straight. The only glimmer of hope is that they’re playing the Reds tonight, and they are usually pretty good against the Reds.
It was a good weekend, highlighted by baby Carina of course. Friday seems like a million years ago. I took Jose out to dinner that night to celebrate his success at his Cert Qual sim that day. Saturday morning was the triathlon, Saturday afternoon was a trip to see Pirates of the Caribbean (the verdict: eh, not that great), Saturday night was fish night topped with Jen’s water breaking and them heading to the hospital. Sunday was errands day and waiting impatiently to find out if Jen had had the baby yet! Monday was a rainy, rainy, rainy Memorial Day BBQ at Debbie’s. Whew. What a weekend.
I have two things on my agenda today: writing up an evaluation for my trainee from her sim last week, and studying for my rendezvous qual class tomorrow. I have to perform the rendezvous in the shuttle simulator — without the help of the flight data file that has all the procedures in it! I have to know all the procedures from memory. It’s a lot to remember.
I signed up for the Heights 5K this Saturday. I’m planning to hang with June for as long as I can as she goes for sub-30:00. I’m hoping she can drag me with her to a sub-30:00 but realistically I’m not sure if I’m quite there yet. A lot will depend on how hot it is. We’ll see.
