Damnit. Delle has not called. Today was the doctor’s appointment. What in the hell? It’s been a day since I’ve talked to her. What if she’s had the freakin baby and I didn’t know? JesusGod, and of course, EVERYONE is asking me if she’s had the baby and all I know to say is “Possibly, but I don’t know”.. and what kind of friend does that make me out to be? A LOUSY ONE, that’s what kind of friend. And I know that she’s probably screening her calls because she just gets annoyed when I call because SOMEHOW the magic of my cell phone vibes MAGICALLY send her into a contraction so that every time she answers, she sounds as if she’s in the middle of pushing a watermelon through a hole the size of a peach, and she’s ANGRY. And I don’t blame her for not answering, because how annoying is it to say (in the middle of ANOTHER Sarah-inspired contraction), “Nothing’s changed; no baby, and yes, it still hurts.”? It probably sucks, so I wouldn’t answer the phone either. And she swears she’ll call when something DOES happen, but let’s face it, as soon as all of the mucus and water and bloody-who-knows-what starts coming at a rapid pace, who really wants to reach out and touch someone? Right, no one wants to do that. So I’ll sit here at work, typing a usefully ignorant piece of crap post while she’s grunting and pushing and bringing my nephew into this world and I’ll have no clue. (which is kind of okay, cause something tells me that if I actually witnessed the birth, i would embrace cellibacy with a quickness.) So here I am, typing, wondering.. hoping..
Screw it. I’m calling her.
Ringing
Damnit, she’s gonna send me to voicemail again.

Mother of PEARL! WOULD YOU JUST ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE?!
RINGING
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING!!!
“Hey, I’m having my cervix checked. Can I call you back?”
Um.. eww.. you don’t have to tell me EVERYTHING, you know.
