I ended up taking yesterday off work. See, if the shuttle had launched yesterday, I would have worked overnight starting at 1 a.m. But it didn’t, so I ended up with an unscheduled day off. Let me tell you: it is REALLY hard to plan your days when the shuttle can’t seem to get itself into orbit thanks to typical Florida summertime weather. Knowing that my shift is in the middle of the night, I attempted to shift this weekend. I stayed up until 3 a.m. on Saturday night, and 4 a.m. on Sunday night. But then? No launch. And the next attempt isn’t today, but Wednesday. I can’t very well keep using up my vacation for no good reason, and there’s no point to working night hours if there’s not a mission to support. So I’m back in the office and will just have to slam myself onto the night shift when the time comes.
Thus I will just whine about it. And there you go.
That was the only annoying part of an otherwise lovely weekend. On Friday night we had tex mex with some friends and then headed over to their apartment to swim in the pool. After a while, another group that was also hanging out asked us if we wanted to play some pool volleyball. So the 6 of us joined the 5 of them and were having a great time…until the COPS showed up. Yes. The cops — and not just one, but THREE cars. Obviously there was nothing else exciting going on in League City on Friday night. Apparently someone called and said we were being too loud. I think this may be the first time this has ever happened to me, so it was unbelieveable and actually quite funny. We were drinking but no one was drunk, and it wasn’t even 10:30. And no, we weren’t that loud.
Count ’em. 1, 2, 3. We’re such rebels, yo.
We had the house inspected on Saturday morning and all is well. There are a couple minor things that the builder will fix this week, but no showstoppers. We’re scheduled to close next Wednesday or Thursday and I can’t wait. In fact, we spent another few hours of our weekend browsing furniture stores and imagining the possibilities. After months of planning and watching it grow, I am SO ready to be in this house.
