The Waiting Game
Jan. 14th, 2007 08:11 pmThere are times when I wait for the phone to ring and it has been happy news. Then there are times when I dread the sound of the phone because I know that bad news is on the way. Then there are the surprise phone calls that can change the day in a snap.
Right now we are waiting for a phone call to find out how our friend is doing. It is now down to the waiting and the knowing that the call is going to come but we don't know when.
E-mail can do the same thing. Something you don't expect shows up in your e-mail box that can either make or break your day. On some occasions I have gotten both and the day seems to level out especially when I read the good after the bad. Right now I am sorting out whether I want to deal with my e-mail drama or not. At this point I am choosing not.
I need to go lock up the Drama Llama for a while I think. Reality is biting me on the ass as I wait to find out what is going to happen or rather when. I am sad and angry all at the same time. I want to scream to the skies, "It's not fair!" But instead I sit quietly waiting for the phone to ring.
I am grateful that we did come down Friday rather than Saturday.
