As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I definitely felt shaking. And then again later. And then again this morning. I distinctly remember 4 different times that I felt something, but it was really subtle. It felt like those days in SoSaLa when Trax would go by and rattle my bed a bit. Apparently I've gotten used to this California occurrence, because all I did was make a mental note to check online in the morning to see where the epicenter was.
So I did.
And this is what I found.
If you're counting (and I am), that's 26 earthquakes just in the last 24 hours. Not atypical, and not all that alarming. But of those 26, 14 of them were in California! !! I know, I know, I'm just looking at one day. But if that's anything like the normal pattern, I'm pretty freaked.
I know what you'll say next: These were tiny earthquakes. I know, and I still felt them. I really can't imagine one of those huge mothers that are happening all over the place. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm officially adding earthquakes to the growing list of Things I'm Wimpy About.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this.
Critters.
I saw a possum running down the street by my house last night. My first instinct was to run and scream, which I did. I don’t know why, but I imagined it jumping with surprising agility and latching onto my face, like something out of a Chevy Chase movie. All in all, this and the earthquakes, combined with my frequent killer spider dreams are making nighttime pretty rough for me.
Yeah, you'd be afraid too.

So come on back home to Utah. There is nothing scary here.
Seriously? I don't know if I can visit you anymore. Is this normal or some weird phenomenon happening right now?
Possums are creepy! And I heard they are mean. I've mostly only seen dead ones here. Congrats on seeing a live one. And on getting away from it! Good luck getting used to the earthquakes.
