I got a call from my dad maybe a week ago, probably last Friday or something, asking if I could come out on Monday instead of Sunday the next time we got together. He called in the evening when I was away from my phone...he may even have called on Thursday while I was doing Jujitsu. I didn't get the message until really late so I didn't call him back, telling myself I'd call him the next day. I forgot. I always forget, I'm a terrible communicator as my grandpa would say.
So when I got done with Jujitsu last night, something made me pick up my phone and check it. I got another message from Dad, very worried that I hadn't called him back and all that. I got the message at 12:30am...yeah, not calling Dad back then either.
So today I get an e-mail from my stepmom which says the following: "Where are you???? We are worried when we call and you don't return our calls. Call us. Hugs from your worried stepmom"
So I respond to the e-mail because responding to e-mail is fast and easy and quiet, and phone calls from work are not. (I also turned my phone off earlier because the battery was dying.) Apparently my stepmom didn't check her e-mail to see if I'd responded, because I'm sitting here at my desk at work and my phone rings. Not my cell phone...my /work/ phone...and the caller ID says it's Zense (that's the name of my Stepmom's store). Penny sounds all flustered and worried like she's been panicking all day and says she's so glad I'm alive and why hadn't I returned their calls and... Yeah... Apparently since I've moved in with my roommate she had imagined that my roommate was a serial killer and I wasn't calling them back because he'd killed me and hidden my body or something... XD
I really must reinforce the fact that my roommate is teaching me to /defend myself/. No one who teaches self defense is likely to attack the person they're teaching... XD
