What's that sound? Nothing!! The sound of an empty place...

I was freaking out yesterday morning. The kid who was supposed to be home at 2:30 wasn't home at 5:40 when I got up. No response to texts. Still nothing at 6:30. I finally called her work and she was there. She had told them she needed to be out of there by a certain time but she felt they half believed her and it actually helped for me to call. They got embarrassed that they had kept her so late and let her go right away. She thanked me for calling. B and I talked about that later; she thought it was great that the kid and I have such a good relationship that I could call her work and it ends up being a positive thing. If her mother had done that, it would have been for some bullshit stuff and B would have been upset. I guess the catch is, I wouldn't abuse that. I only did it as a last resort because I was worried.

Two of our cast mates came over at 6:45 to get a ride to the theater with us. All five of us piled into the car about 7:10 and headed into the city. Rehearsal officially started around nine by the time we got the truck unloaded, props inside, and everyone in costume. This was our final rehearsal before the show next Friday night.

With the exception of one person being annoying as hell, we did a great job. Compared to what we looked like two months ago, this was an out of park home run. We are going to be awesome. Even B had her costume ready, she had her props, everyone did a great job. It's her first time doing any kind of theater so while she finds parts of it frustrating, she also is getting excited about being part of everything.

After rehearsal we stayed in the city for some lunch. Had vietnamese food. I had a great sandwich and she had a rice bowl. The kid and KBF walked down there with us, but they got theirs to go as they needed to get prepared for Burning Man.

We got home around 1:30 and crashed. I slept for an hour. When I got up I saw the kid's door closed so they must have came in sometime while I was sleeping. B slept for 3 hours as did kid and KBF. They took off to get last minute supplies, came back, fed the snake, and loaded the car. We all hugged goodbye and waved them off to the desert. One week of quiet. Holy moley.

Made steaks for dinner then B and I played Infinity. We both were exhausted still and went to bed around 11. Yeah, we're old. I slept like a log. Almost 10 hours of sleep. Awesome.

Today we are meeting friends at noon to see a movie and hang out. This hopefully will be fun.
