All the little Peas are curled up in bed except SweetPea. (He's taking a teenager break in the garage with a video game.)
I hope the pea in a pod stays put too!
JUST got a text from Panther. His (older) sister (who lives out of state) is in the ICU. Her kidneys and everything are shutting down. His mom just found out and is flying out tomorrow afternoon. But he says he can't handle it and isn't going.
Haven't heard from Maca since 6am Monday morning. He said there was a phone where they were sending him and he would call to say goodnight to the kids each night. But no one has heard a thing since he called to say goodbye before he got on the 4-seat plane.
Spicy still has baby pea inside (thank god).
Panther's sister is in a diabetic coma.
GG is worried about what's going on with Maca and that seems to have helped him level his head out somewhat, at least enough to focus on what needs handled here this week. He is still working on an apartment.
I'm just putting one foot in front of the other. I haven't said anything to the kids yet. But if I don't hear from him by Wednesday, I will be on a plane Thursday and then I will have to tell them something is wrong.
Well, it may not be something wrong with Maca. Maybe since it's such an isolated place, the phone lines are just down, and Maca is fine. He's only there for 4 days... I hope that means you will hear from him tomorrow, Thursday, when he is back in Kodiak, if not sooner.
Glad Pea in the Pod is still inside. I hope they stay there.
Hopefully it's just a phone issue. But that isn't great comfort when I know he's having health issues & shouldn't be out there in the first place. It was idiotic for him to go somewhere so isolated in the middle of a medical issue in the first place.
I contacted his "big boss" again today. I explained the whole situation. He agreed 48 hours out of contact is unusual for Maca & not worth risking a possible serious problem, in light of his remote location. He is contacting the contractors on the jobs in Kodiak to figure out where he was sent, and when, etc., etc. One more slow step in a long series of steps.
He texted. He's back in Kodiak. The phones were f'd up. I'm not surprised. He's not surprised I called the supervisor and was working on calling in the state troopers either. Fucking stupid-ass shit. I can't wait to get out of this damn state.
The grandkids have gone home. SweetPea is visiting a friend. SourPea is with GG.
I'm curled up in my bed alone. It's only 6:30 but I don't care. I'm taking a break. A friend talked with me online for awhile this morning before she went to a job interview and reminded me to be sure to take time to take care of me. So I am curled up in my bed with heated sheets, taking a BREAK.
