EDIT: Read his side of the story in his journal....

I get home at oh, 5:30ish. Jim doesn't even get off until then, so I have half an hour to myself. [livejournal.com profile] silverkun calls, checking up on me (it's a mutual thing, we check up on each other), but I ring off when I note that Jim hasn't arrived by 6:30.

I begin checking at a quarter til 7:00. There has been a HUGE accident involving a semi-trailer and three cars (all rollovers) on the 91 right where he would be getting on the freeway. I call his cell three times - it rings once and goes right to voicemail.

I call his work - he's left, and no, they don't know when he did.

I call the Highway Patrol. No, he's not in the system - either as a casualty or a breakdown. No, not even Red Escort Station Wagons.

I wait some more.

The cell phone rings at 7:22. "Hi Hon - I got stuck in surgery!"

You don't understand...so I tell him. I get a long pause. "oh."

He's getting a burger on the way home. Me, a can of Spaghetti O's.

I am so putting my feet in the fucking freezer before I jam them right in the short hairs when we go to bed tonight!




Ha, ha. Made you laugh. ALL TRUE! (Well, maybe not the freezer....)

Oh, I'm so relieved to hear your husband is safe. That is always a terrifying feeling.
