Saturday
It was the next day, Saturday, November 1. Saturday morning, actually, at 8. For once, I didn't have to wake up early. I had an all-morning rehearsal for Dracula in 2 hours then the 2 performances tonight. Kate, Lizzie and Lucy had slept over the night before, as had her sister Ruthie, who was Claire's friend. The rest of the Camdens were at their house. Reba, Haley and Charlotte had also slept over as had Jessi. I knew that Dad was at the office and Jessi and Molly were baby sitting. And that the boys were out somewhere. I smelled coffee downstairs and knew Mom was up. I also smelled waffles and muffins, which meant Kate was up and she had probably made us something for breakfast. The boys hadn't come to my performance the night before, or any other one. No one knew where they were and no one particularly cared. We were just glad they weren't here.
I heard Kate, Lizzie and Mom downstairs talking. Everything else was relatively quiet. Lucy was still asleep. I opened the drawer of my next-to-the-bed nightstand, took out a Luna bar, closed the drawer, unwrapped the Luna bar and began eating it. I was feeling a bit dizzy but decided that would pass with the eating of the Luna bar. It did but I continued to feel dizzy throughout the day. Luckily, I was able to go through rehearsal and the performances flawlessly. It was after the last performance that was a problem.
