Double Black-Eye

That's what hubby said last night. He had double black eye obviously becuase of two things:

NOT GOING HOME TILL OCTOBER
========================

Yup, barely two weeks before his scheduled sign off from his vessel, he was advsied if he can extend his stay until last week of October. He accepted without much hesitation but of course, he was not ok with it. His bags were all packed and all. I guess when I joked him that since there's no advise yet of his reliever, maybe he's not yet coming home. I guess I'm in this business well enough to know that is a possibility. I tried to make jokes out of it but when reality sets in and it's confirmed, it's just so hard to accept. *Sigh* Oh well, that's life. The good side is he'll be spending Christmas here. He has asked for some requests too so I hope their office will accept.

CANNOT CONTACT ME
================
Because of this news, he tried to call me. There was no answer. He tried calling our landline, no answer too. He tried to call for 2 hours but no one's answering. He called my mother-in-law, asked her to help him contact me. he called my Mom and my sister too. Even hsi Captain was alarmed that we cannot be contacted. Everyone got so paranoid. Sister went to my place to check us out. She was thinking of the worst already and was crying on ehr way to our place. When she was finally there in our lobby, she didn't want to go up, so she asked the guard to call us up first. Of course we answered. She was soooo mad. When she came to our palce, she threw a lot of things at me and was very teary-eyed.

Reason for us not being contacted? Eanna played with all our phones. My mobile phone was "dead" and our landline phone was in disarray. Helper's phone was being charged too so I guess it was off as well.

When I finally got to talk to Enrik, he was sooooo high-blood and he was angry. REALLY ANGRY. Refused to talk to me for a long time and kept on saying I should always be accessible and all. It was funny, but not funny for them I guess.


*Sigh*

I'm trying to sound light and all, but beneath, really I'm so sad and disappointed. I will never get used to this kind of arrangement. *Sigh*
