So I'm sitting here at 1:38 am my time posting a layout before I go to bed... when David Cook comes blaring out of my cell.
This is my default ringtone, so I know immediately it can't be my boyfriend, my best friend, or anyone from my family. I look, and it's some zipcode I've never heard of before.
I end the call and reverse the # on Google (thank you, Internet!). While I am searching, the # calls again, and I again end it, knowing it will go to my VM so this random person can figure out that they're calling the wrong person.
I find out it's some # from VA, which is 4 states over from here, which means it's also 1:38 am there. That's a little odd.
Then I think to myself, 'Well, my ex does live in VA, so maybe it's him??' He doesn't have my cell #, though, and we don't have any children together, so why would he be calling me after months of being incommunicado and at 1:38 am?
The # calls a THIRD TIME. Now I'm really freaked out, so I let it ring all 4x, so I can know w/o question that it's going to go to my VM.
When I do a geographic search on where the # is from, it comes up in the middle of Nowheresville, VA, several hours from where my ex would be living, and then I see it's approximately 2 hours south of where my ex-stepdaughters live, so I briefly toy with the idea that maybe one of them has run away or something happened to them, and that's as far as they made it and now they're calling me for help? Again, though, the oldest is only 17 and would never do something like that, and how would she have gotten my cell #?
The # itself reversed to a man's name I'd never heard of and I'm fairly sure is not a relation of either my ex or his daughters as well as to a rural route address.
There was no fourth call or VM left.
I still have my # from my hometown, so the person may have even been trying to reach someone from that area which is 2 1/2 hours north of where I'm now living.
I'm a little wigged out. I think I will go to bed now.
