A little Shake, A Huge Quake..

                                                                      Today is what I like to call as a death day. Sometimes in our lives we wake up to a day feeling not quite ourselves as though something is just a little off and most people, just say they woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  Today was the type of day that I got thrown off the wrong side of the bed.   We had a pretty big earth quake in Maryland today, actually it hit the Eastern Shore. On the recitor scale it was a 6.0.    Now, I am from Alaska and I have been in my fair share of Earth Quakes, but this one was scary even for a veteran like me.  I was my bathroom putting on some makeup and I felt the ground start to move beneath me it was small and I yelled down to my family if they had felt the small shake as well and everyone yelled yes, at that moment I was certain it was just a small shake and then not even thirty seconds after the small shake had halted the ground under my feet begun to sway and the entire room was shaking violently. I yelled for my father who had been trying to sleep for hours with no such luck and I could hear him trying to get out of bed which is not easy to do when everything around you feels like it's crumbling to the ground and you are about to be buried to death.  My dad yelled back, " you're fine, it's okay", but I could hear ttttdoorway and I realized that the old house I live in would not stand if the shanking became more violent so with my shirt in my hand that I had taken off as to not get makeup on it I moved my way downstairs  and before I could reach the door all shaking stopped. I was able to put my shirt on and when I walked outside I saw that all my neighbrs were looking up at the sky trying to stop the nonexsistant terroists.  Strange how before 9-11 nobody would have ever thought it was an attack even if it was the first earth quake they had been through.  I find it sad that so many people jumped at thinking it was terroists, including myself.     So, for a few short seconds I thought crap I am going to die and I was okay with that thought.   i don't WANT to die, but I am not afraid of it, then again I ran outside to make sure if anything collapsed I wouldn't be checking out quite yet.      I drove  my brother out to Baltimore to take him to the SPCA to get a new kitten.   I don't want a kitten i don't even really like cats or dogs for that matter.   I LOVE my dog, but I don't like other aniamls.  I find it kind of funny when I am with a friend who has a dog or cat and because they see how loving I am to my dog they assume I am a lover of the things, but I am really not.   I am always nice to animals and animals generally come to me above other people sometimes even their owners, and I think it has something to do with the fact that I don't want them near me.  I guess not even animals are above the old saying, " You want what you can't have." humans added the part, " Until you have what you couldn't and then you don't want it."     The SPCA was actually closed due to the Earth Quake, in fact they closed everything including the post.   The 6.0 Earth Quake is one of the biggest I have been in, but I have been in some fivers and back home where Earth Quakes are common they happen, people make sure things are okay, and then you go about your day as though nothing happened.   Marylanders freak out about everything.  I knew that when it snows here they freak unlike in Alaska where snow is common, but an Earth Quake is different once it is over you may have an after shock, but then it's done and over.   Sometimes the after shock is bigger than the ential shock like the Earth Quake yesterday at first it was a little small shake nothing too wierd even kind of exciting and then a few seconds after it had ended the after shock was more than a little shake and it was not fun, but a bit scary.     I did decide that the next Earth Quake I am in I want to do three things. First I want to pee during an EQ just to see how funny it would be, then I want to jump up and down to look at the effects it will have on my balance and finally I would love to have intercourse during an EQ.  I mean that would be the most difficult of all my EQ ideas because we would have to already be in the act, since EQ's don't last very long and even if by some small chance that I was already in the act it would take a little practice like from sitting on a dryer and having sex to be able to perform during a semi big EQ because otherwise it would just be bouncing around, but to be able to get the perfect movement.     

Anyway after I got to the SPCA to get my brother a kitten a cat I do not want for the reasons of not liking other animals, and I always end up being the one to have to pay and take care of the damn animals.  I got to the SPCA and they were closed. They had closed the entire city, so I am driving back from the city into town and at that point I had not slept in about thrity two hours I almost fell asleep at the wheel and started going off the road luckily it scared me so much that I was wide awake.   I had some more errands to make and on my way home finally after a very long day and being completely exhausted a car came and started to merge into my lane. Luckily after almost going off the road not long before I was being very vilgent and trying to stay awake so I spotted the car and started honking my horn and slowing down, but at the speed we were going and due to others cars I was boxed in, I was laying down the horn as much as possible and I had to get over into the wrong lane with oncoming traffic.  After other cars started honking at the car he finally looked and got back into his own lane.  When I had to turn the wheel as hard as I did to avoid being hit I hurt my wrist and it is now bruised and swollen from hitting the wheel when I turned.   The worst part is once the man got back into his own lane he looked up at me smiling with a huge creepy grin and put up his hands with raised shoulders the body language for oops  or what is there to do?  here is a guy that forces me into the wrong lane and damn near kills me and my brother and he finds it funny???    Well, so like I said it was a death day.  It's funny how when I am dealing with maybe having cancer and I find myself in situtions that could have turned deadly in a blink of eye and I'm not scared, but maybe the things weren't that deadly, scary? yes, deadly no.  I think I may be finding death in so many situtions because of fear of being sick.  I am exhausted because as of now I have not slept in over two days.  I went to go to sleep this morning since I get the day off and when I finally fell asleep around eleven am and then I got a call from my brother who needed to be picked up from school because as a senior he gets early dismisal because he has enough credits, so i had to go pick up my brother, i came home to clean and get things done, now, I am going to pick up some chef salads for my dad for hsi dinenr because tonight is the only night this week i am not cleaning and then I am off to go adopt a kitten from the SPCA with my brother.    I am going to come home and i am making my mother and brother go to bed at 830 pm tonight.  Last ngith my mother took ambien and was talking to people who weren't there because she was ASLEEP. she wasn't hearing voices, but she was asleep and then she would wake up and decide she had to seperate the laundry, so there I was cleaning up the messes she was making trying to get her to lay down with no such luck.    I got my brother up for school and took him, then I got my mother to sleep around 730 am and she was awake when I got home from picking up my brother so I did get an hour of sleep and yes, I am going to go and dirve on the road which I am not looking forward to, but sadly I am the only one who can do it.    Tomorrow after I get home I am getting an hour long Swedish Heat Massage and then I am going to Value City to pick out and order my new bedroom furniture, a gift from my parents.    I had picked out some new furniture and my mother informed me of other things that i am going to need and want and as a thank you for everything I do they offered to buy me new furniture so they things I had picked out we looked at other stuff and decided on the items that are a bit more expensive, but my parents really want to do it and I think it's cute they are in spoil mode and them telling me that I do so much for my family and I may bitch about it online, but I don't bitch to them they said I neevr complain and do everything and they know hat they don't show their appreciation a lto of the time and it's hard because I don't ask fir things andwhen I am offered I say no to things, but it's not fair I have an older sister and a younger brother who are really spoiled and they don't do anything to help the family.   This week my brother has been doing chore, but it's mostly because he wants a new kitten and orginally I had said no because I wanted my brother to prove he would take care of it and clean up after it, this week my brother has done all that so I finally gave in to the kitten.   I have picked out the kitten lol and I have also named the Kitten.    I know it's wierd, but I name all the animals except a few cats my brother used to have that died.            Oh I also texted R again today and I will tell about that tonight, but for now I need to get ready to leave because when I come home tonight I am determined to go to bed early and SLEEP!!!    Now, all I have to do is make sure I can put my mother down as well because if she doesn't go to sleep then I don't get to go to sleep.     I will write later and talk abotu why i etxted R again, but for now Wish me luck y'all
Hugs and Kisses xoxo
