Does his voice raise to a hysterical pitch when he’s about out of power on his cell phone?  His hello immediately make my stomach burn as he makes me think he lost his wallet, sprained his back or is at the hospital getting news that his pain is from a terminal hang nail.  He said a message came up on his phone that said he must download an app immediately.  When is he going to realize this is a hack or a sales pitch.  And yes the car’s engine light came on again and it worries him but why not go to a Chevy dealer and see if its okay to drive home about 600 miles away or does it need fixed now.  His mind runs wild with worst case scenarios.  Thus the reason I’m warm and safe and unaffected here at home.  His escalated tone of voice hurts my shoulders and I’m sure. raises his blood pressure because saying good bye, not to him but to his hysterical tone of voice, lowers mine.

Just happy he’s staying at the cozy motel, because the two kids that work behind the desk help him out.  With directions, lost and locked out keys and love listening to his over told stories that they enjoy as they are hearing them for the first time.  They provide breakfast and give him the attention he needs at such a low room rate.  Plus they have guided him to a geat hot dog house for lunch and two great dinner fares for steak and mexican.  I’m sorry I missed the fun but just couldn’t take the ride after 12 days being gone for Thanksgiving.
