22:52: i was half-asleep when i started to feel myself rocking back and forth in bed. i thought my cat was nudging me or something. the rocking got stronger. considerably stronger. i opened one eye. my cat wasn't even on the bed. earthquake!!
funny thing about earthquakes. when you're in the middle of one, you're not quite sure if there truly is one or you're just imagining things. after that split-second of hesitation, you tell yourself that yes, it's an earthquake and you should get out of the house or the building and head for open air. but then your balance is all goofy, so you wait a moment to get your footing right. then it's over.
about two seconds after the shaking stopped, i heard my brother call out for me. protective instinct. how cute. but one wonders why he didn't check on his wife and daughter first. lol! we ran to the other house, not really out of worry, but just to see if the chandeliers were still swinging. hehe.
ok, that was nervous laughter.
