The first week without Bob we talked on the phone every day. He was calling to set up things he needed on the tour. It seemed like right when I got home for lunch or from work at the end of the day there was more work to do. It wasn’t -- “oh, I can go home and take it easy”. There was times I just wanted to go home and just chill out. But I knew it had to be done. Bob needed everything he needed.
I slept with a knife while Bob was gone. I told the neighbors Bob had adult chicken pox so they wouldn’t know I was alone. We didn’t live in the safest area. I had two fans going the entire time. I would block the windows with a chair. We didn’t use our Air Conditioning (too expensive). I had the whole bed to myself in that Vegas heat. That’s the only plus side I can think of for Bob being gone.
I had one of Bob’s t-shirts out and I slept with it. There were times I‘d just cry at night because I missed him so much. I smelled him on the pillows.
I wasn’t too scared; just knowing my brother’s a police officer and they were patrolling the area at that time helped. Someone called breathing really heavy asking about a casting (We owned a casting breakdown company at the time called “Las Vegas Link”). It was 4 AM -- I didn’t answer at first. He called back and started breathing hard and being really perverted. I went to my parents house almost every night.

Today was a good day for rest. Laundry was done, journaling was caught up on and we watched a movie before going to Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar to watch Christine perform. Her stage presence has grown dramatically since I last saw her. She put on a great show. We had a very good night financially. We received donations from Pete’s and “Kiss My Ribs”, a ribs joint inside Pete’s. The audience even pitched in. All totaled we took in more than $500.
