Sent a couple texts to D13 and they bounced, so figured she is traveling now to her "event"...
Since I'm going "dim"... I figured I'd send a light text to my W this morning to ask if D13 was gone yet and to wish D13 luck for me if my W talks to her...

Then again, she's had a few opportunities to drive it this and last year, so maybe she's getting more comfortable...
