I Didn't Expect That

Sometimes you just don't know how the day will unfold.

After dinner on Saturday night, Jenny and I got in our comfy clothes and put in a movie.  We figured we were in for the night.  Until around 10:00 when a friend called and asked if we wanted to partake in a prank he was pulling on his brother.

Fill an entire first floor with dixie cups full of water.   We decieded we would join in the fun and spent the next while placing dixie cups on the floor, filling the plastic ones with water and the paper ones with cat food.  We hadn't expected this turn of events.

Then the next turn of events happened.  Our friend noticed he had left the living room light on, and couldn't walk there anymore, though he was convinced he could jump to the opening of cups by the door from the couch across the room.  The other 5 of us gathered in the doorway to see if this leap would be successful.  As far as clearing the cups goes, the leap was successful.  However, his momentum continued carrying him towards the corner of the room and the door.  His body hit the corner, and part of the door, but his hand, put up to brace himself, found the one glass pane in the door and broke through it, cutting his hand enough to need stitches.

That mean, a late trip to the E.R. for stitches.  It also meant that our friend needed to replace the door on his brother's house the next day.

My Sunday was then spent with my friend, his dad, and me installing said door.  The friend of little help as he couldn't use his hand at all, leaving him fairly useless in a construction project. 

Saturday night I though I was sitting down for a movie, turns out, I really was planning the next 24 hours of my day.

The door got installed, everyone is fine, everyone is happy.
