Day 1, Down

Well he's in good spirits! He said time was an issue, but it seemed to be for most others as well. Today was the "easiest," of the 3 days in Dustin's opinion. He, as planned left the house before 7 am and surprisingly was not the first one in the parking lot, ha (other over-achievers). His biggest dilemma today was trying to figure out how he was going to get his Nicorette in. Though the security was tight -- could not bring anything other than your ID, admission ticket and computer---Nicorette was an allowable item much like pens and pencils...the state knows who they are dealing with, recent graduates that are all, still, addicted to nicotine. I know many of Dustin's classmates, many of which are chain smokers -- I hope they are doing OK since cigarettes are not allowed. : \

I had a list of "to-dos," for myself over the next three days and well I guess my adrenaline allowed me to finish all of my list just this morning. I feel accomplished, but now am wondering how I am going to pass the time tomorrow and Thursday. Hopefully the sun will come out (it's been raining) and I can put our new Margaritaville margarita-maker to good use!

This afternoon we are going to take it easy -- probably watch some recorded Datelines, 20/20's, America's Most Wanted, etc. -- we are crime junkies -- perhaps this explains why Dustin had a perfect score on "homicide," in his practice exam. After that we are going to La Cantera for a couple's massage -- THANK YOU TONNA! A Good Day! Thank you for your texts, phone calls and e-mails -- we have such great family and friends!
