How Long?

How long would it take them to find me?

I’m serious. Let’s guess.

I say 3 days if it was during the week. Possibly 4 or more days if it was over the weekend or a vacation.

If I got into an accident, choked on a potato chip, mysteriously just never woke up … how would anyone ever know?

I work from home.

I’m 3,000 miles from all my friends and family.

I am alone.

Would people even notice?

How long would it take to die? How long would it take for them to find me?

Would they know what to do with me once they found out? Where would they take me? What would they do with me? Would it be the right thing?

Will The Real Housewives cheer me up? or will I die watching The Real Housewives? I can’t think of anything more depressing than that.

Well … not being able to drink because I have to drive everywhere around here feels more depressing than that actually.
