Swinging and Swaying
yes, we had another earthquake, this one a bit more vigorous than usual at 5.7 confirmed. I was parked on the bed at 9pm, book before me, cat over my ankles, when, in the silence broken only by Thurder’s small feline snores, there occurred that old familiar noise. Earthsound! I set the book to one side and waited to see if it was worth moving. Ah yes, my world began to sway…and swing… and… right, I moved smartly into my doorway – passed by Thunder heading for his outside cat park. Sometimes that long swaying may be the preliminary and what you get after that is the WHAM! section of things. No wham however. I went back to my book, Thunder came in shortly thereafter and went back to my ankles. No harm, no foul. Not even any local damage. Now if you have to have an earthquake, that’s the earthquake to have. Although some people hate that type, the swaying makes them feel as if they’re about to faint, for others it indices a feeling of seasickness. I’d still rather either of those than the house coming apart or even everything falling off the shelves. The aftermath is less time-consuming, costly or dangerous. The only problem is that Thunder blames me for it. Somehow, someway, I should have prevented that!
