Unplanned Silence; it's been such a lovely day, NOT.

Talking to my mom about a cousin who died last night (more joy.) and the phone goes dead. just dead. Why? Who knows. about 2 hours later my mom shows up on my doorstep terrified something weird had happened to me. Bless her heart. I was emailing freinds and family to get them to call my fiance to get him to call the phone company. I guess these days you have to be on the account to do such things. Finally my friend in Canada responded and hopefully the repair division will arrive before late tomorrow. Clearly it was one of those days that I could have slept through easier. But let me remember Katrina and 9/11 and stop whining. It's so eery to not be able to pick up a phone and contact people. My sweetie and I haven't gone a day without talking in the past 7 years and it's disturbing for me. I've tried to watch movies... "Out of Africa", and "Reds" but that's a lot of TV for a Monday. To think that I want to attend a writer's residency that doesn't involve any telephones or internet. That will be a little prickly but it will be planned. Unplanned silence is always so much more dreadful.

It was the one day none of my neighbors were home. Strange. It's like waking up in the middle of the desert when you went to sleep in your grandma's house tucked cozily under one of her fluffy quilts. It's disorienting. I keep hoping that it will fix itself every hour. I still keep checking the phone expectantly hoping to be surprised!

Ah well. I will find a spot to inhabit in my cave, now that even here in my escape I'm left feeling like a fish in low fire cast iron pan. unplanned silence. hmm.
