That was the most awesome call that I've gotten yet. It wasn't great news but it was like talking to my kid again. He sounded so depressed and beaten down before. Tonight he was upbeat and he did almost all the talking. He called for two reasons.
One to see if we were prepared for Ike, and if we thought it was going to hit us. He also asked how we fared with Gustav. I'm guessing a DS was standing by when he was asking all this.
Then he said he had some time to talk so he shared the fact that he's on profile, he's hurt his ribs and back during something to do with navigation. Now, I thought navigation had to do with giving someone directions so...I have no idea what he did to hurt himself, but he did. I get an image of him standing on top of a tank, pointing the way...and then tumbling off. My mind has too much time to imagine crazy scenarios, sorry.
He even said hi to my mom, just because she was standing there. One of his sisters was there, but she just yelled at the phone...I hesitated to let her talk to him directly because A. she'd take forever just saying hi B. she'd likely make him cry and C. she'd rub it in to her sister that she got to talk to him and it would get real ugly.
She was playing Webkinz anyway (she's 7) so it wasn't a huge loss to her at the time.
and now...I have to work.
I'm sure there is something he said that I was going to share and forgot...so I'll probably be back when I remember. LOL
