Cory had a great night in tips last night - nearly $50! He's working again tonight - first time closing - so he won't be home for a few hours at least.

Last night ended up being a late, late night, and I was just exhausted by the time Cory came home. Today has been a pretty laidback day. Cory had one counseling appointment this morning, and much of the rest of the day has been devoted to hanging out at home. We did go out for lunch. I made a couple stops to see if I could find fall/winter jackets for Cole. Ended up empty handed. Accalia, Cole and I ran to the grocery store after Ella went down for a late afternoon nap. We just picked up a few things and will have to go out again tomorrow to pick up a few more.

The first thing Ella did this morning was wait for Cory to come downstairs so they could sit together and listen to music from the Broadway show Wicked on the computer. She did this the other night while Cory was listening to it and now it's her new favorite thing to do at the computer. Cory half jokingly said that his mom left that part of her for Ella. Both Cory and Mary loved/love musicals. They both participated in school and community theater, and I'm so glad that Mary was able to see a couple Broadway shows when she and Myron took a trip to New York City a couple a year or so before she died.

Tomorrow will hopefully be a productive day. Other than the trip to the store, we'll do a few things to prepare for Ella's birthday. The biggie will be baking her cake. Cory will work just a few hours in the evening, and he'll have an extra day to the weekend since he's taking Monday off for Ella's birthday. He will see his clients at night, though.

Happy Saturday everyone!
