hmm

Life is full of difficult decisions.
Let's take the following for instance:

A couple of nights ago I woke up suddenly. This is rare. Once I'm out, I'm usually out cold. But anywho, I woke up. Yet while still half asleep, I realized that my bed was shaking, along with the rest of my room. "Hmmm, what does this mean?" I asked my sleepy self. Angry monster living under the bed? Someone's doing jumping jacks on the roof? Earthquake?
Earthquake!
Well, earth tremble.
My first thought was cool! But then I remembered how we are supposed to leave the house if that happens...Right?
Then i sat there for a good 7 seconds deciding if I should go downstairs or not.
But it's cold...
But there's like a thousand steps to go down...
But I'm so sleepy..

And then the trembling ended. And i went back to sleep.
The end.

I now sleep with my contact lens case next to the bed...ever since I lost my glasses. In case I ever do have to race out of the house, at least I'll leave with my vision.

I also think It would be more effective to install a parachute system in the case of an earthquake. I could just parachute out of the house. I think that would be safer then going down nteenth flights of stairs.

Open to suggestions.

  1. Lol! Parachuting would be so much fun! Well, I am glad you are safe Amelia. That's kind of scary.

  2. I agree with Eileen. Definitely get the parachute. Way faster and way cooler. And who doesn't want a parachute laying around? But make sure you get one with a reserve chute...just in case.
