Happy Birthday to me! I am sitting at my desk drinking my birthday Starbucks and getting the day started.
As of yesterday, I had absolutely nothing on my calendar today and thought about taking the day — or at least the afternoon — off. But then last night the Soyuz, which launched yesterday afternoon, missed one of its scheduled rendezvous burns. Instead of docking last night, they won’t dock until tomorrow, and of course there are a million questions about what caused the missed burn. I suspect my day will not be as empty as I thought, but that’s life I suppose.
I spent all morning trying to get Emma to echo “Happy Birthday Mama” but she just responded with “buuh dada.” Oh well, there’s always next year!
