The Day I almost Died….the Comedy

I swear that I could be the next Bridget Jones....things like this really don't happen to "normal" people......

This is how it all began.......I had gotten home pretty late on Saturday night, rather, early morning on Sunday and slept for a bit. Then I woke up and called home and talked to Grammy, Grandpa, Mom, Laura, Wyatt and Dad. By the time I was done it was about 1pm and I was tired. So I decided to take a nap. I didn't have a cell phone because I left my Thai cell phone in the States somewhere, and I didn't unplug my phone cord from the computer when I went to sleep. Little did I know that my friends were trying to track me down. They were worried because we had all gotten home late the night before, and no one actually came back WITH me, Bobbie and Andrew passed me on their motorcycle, but everyone was worried that something had happened to me between the little jaunt between the main street and my condo.

So, during the day, Pascale and the kids came to the condo pool and knocked on my door. As there was no answer, they just went and played in the pool.

Also….during the same time…..Ja came over to give me an extra cell phone that she had, and she ran into Bari who was just coming over to say hey to me. Once they all realized they couldn’t get ahold of me, they started calling around to other people asking others if they have seen me.

After trying my phone every once in a while, and ringing the doorbell, they decided that I might have gone out somewhere, and they wrote me a note….

Then they came back a little while later and saw the note still there and decided to bang on the door. They got the maintainance man to bring up a hammer and they started hammering down my door, to no avail….

During this whole time, I was just sleeping peacefully in my bed, every once in a while dreaming that there was some major construction going on above me, not realizing that my friends were trying to beat down my door with a hammer.

Finally, it was getting late, around 8pm, and Ja had tried to track down my maid to get the spare keys. Pascale had to call my vice principal, Suzie, because my maid is also her maid and Suzie had Malle’s number. So know Suzie knew that I was missing in action. Suzie then called my principal, Jeannie……and they were both on their way to the condo. I’m still oblivious at this point…..So Malle brought the keys but they had ruined the bottom door knob so the keys didn’t work anyway. Meanwhile they had called a locksmith and the locksmith showed up right when Jeannie and Suzie did. Once the door was unlocked and opened just a ways, my metal door bolt was locked from the inside, they realized that I had been inside. My friends said they had a moment of panic because that meant that I WAS inside….Jeannie and Suzie made everyone stay outside while they went inside.

So I am laying in bed, half naked, with just my underwear on…..and I hear someone coming into my bedroom. I was in a VERY deep sleep and I wake up to my PRINCIPAL and VICE PRINCIPAL asking me if I’m okay…..I ask them what is going on and get worried that something happened to Pascale or lil’ Katie or something…..but they tell me that I have a whole load of friends outside that were worried about me when they didn’t hear from me all day.

I reassure them that I am fine, as I cover myself up, I tell them that I was just really tired, and didn’t realize how long I had slept.

They wanted to send everyone away, but there was absolutely no way that I wanted that. I apologized for making them worry and sent them on their way…..

I walked out to the living room, and there was Pascale and Lil’ Katie, Ja, Bari, and Bobbie and Andrew. Pascale told me that about half of the school knew about it, as she had called around wondering if I was with other people…..I couldn’t believe it….

I invited my friends in and they stayed for a while….I was feeling sooooo loved…..and soooo horrible that I made them worry so much. Now I know for sure that I am well cared for and loved here.

I can’t believe things like this happen to me. I am sooo thankful for these new friends of mine. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!
