With the exception of a small foray to the grocery store for chips, we spent the entire day inside yesterday. It was wonderful. We were in what's known as the Rocky Coma. Almost everyone on cast experiences it after a particularly intense show. We have given so much at the show that we have nothing left for Sunday. It happens to all of us at one time or another. Since I was emcee, I was drained. All my energy went into that performance. Nothing left to give. We stayed in, worked on the puzzle (finished it!), and ate chips while watching tv. A very lazy sunday. No remorse either. We both needed a do nothing day and we succeeded. B talked with her mother. She has plans to renew her license while she is back home and needs her mother to get the papers together. Let's see if she takes care of things. Of course talking to her mother brought up anxiety about this trip. While she is looking forward to going back home, there are some people she doesn't want to deal with while there. She is worried about her dad and his parents being assholes to her and trying to convince her to stay. Wrong. She just doesn't want to listen to their bull. I told her to remember this is HER vacation and she needs to tell them that. If anyone is being a pain don't listen or spend time with them. She is under no obligation to spend time around people who are going to make the trip anything less than fun. Hopefully she will be able to handle that. I doubt it but one can hope. Had IHOP for dinner last night because she was craving waffles and I didn't feel like cooking. That turned into a bit of an adventure. They had a cook call in sick and had one cook for the whole place. Things were a little backed up. The food came out okay but it was a slow meal experience. It was okay with us. We weren't in a big hurry anyway. Hit bed around 10:30 and talked a while. This is when all the stuff about her trip came out. But we will get through this. She will enjoy this vacation even if I have to call everyone there in advance and yell at them.

More documents today. Still haven't heard from anyone. Now I am starting to wonder what's going on. If I don't hear from anyone by end of day, I will start branching out my emails.
