For three days, Michael's phone has been down and he hasn't answered his emails. We usually talk every day. The phone is a landline (he has no cell) and the operator says there is "trouble on the line" which means it is not disconnected and he is not intentionally ignoring my calls. <-- Mom insisted for the first day that he was breaking up with me, so I am fixated on the fact that the phone issue seems to not be his fault.
On the second day I checked google and saw that there was a fire in his neighborhood which injured people and destroyed two apartments. the photos showed a building like his, really nearly identical, so of course i freaked out until i saw that the address wasn't correct. I called his neighborhood police and found out that he hasn't been arrested, there haven't been any complaints or emergencies at his address, and he's not in the morgue.
I don't know the numbers of any of his friends or neighbors, and his school had no second phone number for him.
Assuming that there is an electrical problem that is causing his phone line and internet to be down, why hasn't he used someone else's phone to call me and tell me he's fine? Or used someone else's internet?
Assuming that he or his mother is injured, why would that cause the phone line to be down? The only thing I could think of that would break the phone and cause injury is a fire. Is there another possibility?
I can't bear to think he might be hurt, or his mother might be, or his snakes or dog. And if they're not, I can't bear to think that he would be so idiotically, thoughtlessly unreliable not to call me after three days. No matter what the cause of this, the outcome isn't good.
In other news, I took one of our cats to be euthanized, watched a car-struck blinded deer wobbling around in circles on the road, and have been trying to get a painting shown at a local restaurant.
I am training to swim across Harvey's Lake, which is the largest lake contained entirely in PA.
I am applying to programs that place teachers in high-need schools.
I'm exhausted.
