Launch Minus 1

I went to bed on Saturday night around midnight and woke up Sunday morning at 9:00. "Bed is comfortable," I thought. "I'll just lay here for a while longer." Suddenly it was noon, and I was still lying in bed. Yep, I slept for 12 hours, which of course has totally ruined my sleep schedule. I had to be at work at 5 this morning but couldn't fall asleep last night. I tried and tried, but finally gave up and just watched the baseball game and finally fell asleep at 12:30. For those keeping score, that's 3.5 hours of sleep. And now I'm just sitting here waiting until 1:30 to go home.

On the positive side, all my L-1 checks went swimmingly and the ARD is in tip-top shape. Now if only the weather would clear up, because right now it's not looking so great. Clouds and storms in Florida, in Europe at the trans-Atlantic landing sites. Even Edwards is in danger of being covered in haze and smoke from the wildfires plaguing southern California. I'm crossing my fingers though. October 23, 10:38 a.m. Central. Find a TV!
