New Song 2011 Tour : Day 11

Day 11. For breakfast our host family made us a delicious breakfast of oatmeal, toast, and bacon. They were so kind. Our call time was 9 today....but our new bus driver arrived a little late. His name is J---. He's real nice. I like him. H. called our other bus driver, M--- to let us know that nothing has changed with her son, and to thank us for our prayers. All we can do is keep praying. We stopped at the Walmart in Redding again for about an hour and a half. Surrounded by good deals, my self control died....again....and I spent money. I am really out of money now. I bought two C.D's (Lady Antebellum and Darius Rusker) and two pens, because I accidentally left mine at my host families house. After killing time at Wally World, back on the road we went. We watched the weirdest movie ever, called 'Spirited Away'. Then....they decided to watch 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith.' To say I was upset is an understatement. But we won't go there. Let's just say I was disappointed that X----, working to become a pastor, or something like that, voted for it and promoted it. Finally, we got to the church and ate dinner - Meat loaf. Jasmine H. fainted at t he end of our rehearsal and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She's been feeling sick all day and been unable to keep any liquids (or food, for that matter) down, all day. She's been unable to drink and keep it down, so she's dehydrated. The concert itself wasn't as good as normal, either. We didn't sound that good. I was tired, grumpy, and struggling to smile. I almost feel asleep on the risers during the concert, I was so worn out. That's a first. I was put with Jasmine D. Bibby, Mickey, Amanda, and Lynnea. I stayed in a room with Jas and Bibby. The host family is very nice. They are a cute, elderly couple, who were married 6 months ago. They met online apparently and their former spouses both had died of cancer. We all had a good time chatting and laughing together before going to sleep. Call time tomorrow is at 7:45 A.M. So early. It's going to kill me....I just know it.
