Worried
We were expecting Linda this morning. She had a WIC appointment and said she would stop by to see us around 11:30. We were looking forward to seeing her and the baby. Wed' invited her for lunch. TB asked her to stay until he got back from PT and she said she would. TB was home before 11:30.
When Linda hadn't appeared by noon, I figured: this happens a lot with newborns. There are last minute messes and delays to make you late. No big deal.
TB tried to call her but there was no answer.
Around 12:30 we were feeling hungry so we had some lunch. Kristin came in soon after and wanted to know if I could take her to buy some pants today. I'd told her I would, figuring Linda would be on her way off to her next appointment. I didn't want to disappoint Kristin so we left around 1.
Kristin and I took a little longer than I thought so I figured I'd miss Linda's visit. We got home at 3:30 and TB said he hadn't heard from Linda. No visit, no call. He was upset. He'd tried calling a couple more times and there was no answer.
We're both disappointed but more than that, we're worried. What could have happened? If it was anything really bad surely by now someone would have thought to call here. 
There's not a whole lot else we can do except wait 'cuz no one answers at Linda's number.
What would you do first if you found yourself stranded on a deserted island?
Now that I’ve seen several seasons of Survivor, the first thing I’d start doing is building a shelter. After that – or at the same time – I’d look for hard and soft wood to start a fire. While I’m out looking for stuff to build a shelter and a fire, I’d also look for clean water.
