I did mentally note that my garden needed to be watered, so the rain is great and I'll take responsibility. I did not however mention anything about needing an earthquake so someone else needs to step up and take the blame for that one. I'm so confused about what to do when a quake hits, it's like my mind is collaborating everything I was taught in elementary--do I stop, drop and roll? Hide in a bath tub? Call 911? All of the above? I apparently choose none of the above as I look around as if expecting to see an earthquake mascot then I proceed to run around...literally. Perhaps I'll get a dog so I can have a heads up that something is about to scare the you-know-what out of me. I wish our meteorologists wouldn't act so nonchalant about the earth shaking every ones homes, after all we've all witnessed them in panic mode during tornadoes. Why filter the extreme drama now?
Pre third earthquake Abster & I attended our favorite spin class and it wasn't kidding around. I really enjoyed our instructor--she's a great motivator & says stuff like "don't leave here wishing you would have pushed yourself harder." So then I feel like I owe her and I both something and end up with a great work out.
During the first and second earthquake, while I was in Tulsa my parents painted my kitchen and I couldn't be more pleased with the color---I still get amazed at how colors change the feel of rooms. Speaking of my parents, keep my dad in your thoughts, he is about to have neck surgery---yuck! He's not a fan of surgeries, not that anyone is, but he's avoided this one for years and years. The surgeon is the same one who did his two back surgeries and he did a great job so that adds some comfort. Tulsa was great though, love time with Jon and it's always nice to see his family.
Anyway, post third earthquake, I'm going to get a good night's rest while the thunderstorm provides some background noise and I hope everyone else can do the same.
Hugs & Quakes
April
