Jul. 23rd, 2019 02:02 pmI'm not quite turning into my parents, but I did just call them and basically ask "Where the hell have you been?"
I called them yesterday after work and got no answer. Last time that happened, Dad was in the hospital, so I sat around all evening waiting for that phone call, which I didn't get. I got stuck in "I want to know, but I don't want to know" last night and decided I didn't want to know. But after I didn't get any email this morning, either, I couldn't not know. Mom emails me most mornings.
They're fine. They "got bored and restless and went and bought a car" yesterday, which of course took forever and involved driving to both Franklin, CT and New London, CT, so that's why they weren't home to answer the phone. And this morning they had to go to two different banks, one for the title for the 2007 Prius they were trading in and one for the very large cashier's check for the new-to-them 2017 Subaru Forester, and there wasn't time for email because they wanted to go get things done, and so forth. But everything is fine.
I probably would have been slightly less twitchy if my sister wasn't off in California climbing Mt. Whitney this week besides. I get a text from her once a day, all of which so far say "Checking in, everything OK" so I know not to call the mountain rescue squad, but it's still lurking in the back of my brain. I don't want to be the only living member of my immediate family all of a sudden.
