However the bed was still shaking. Was I dreaming? Was I possessed? Was there a serial killer under my bed? Then it stopped. Since I was still only half awake I rolled over and went back to sleep. Later that morning as I was getting ready for work, I kept thinking about it. Did I imagine it? Why was my bed shaking?
Then I turned on the news and heard that what I'd felt was a freakin' EARTHQUAKE! In Ohio! WTF? Apparently, there's a fault line in Illinois that registered a 5.4 magnitude earthquake at 4:37am. And we felt it all the way over here. Luckily, there were no reports of injuries and only minor damage. Crazy. That's a story to tell my grandchildren some day.
Baseball season has started. Why does that matter to me, you ask? Because the guy I share my second job with coaches his son's team. That means for the next couple months I'll be working 4 evenings a week to cover his absence. Unless it rains. Then he'll go to work instead. So I may be doing some rain dances over here so I can have a break. I hate baseball season.
My Florida sunburn has faded. No more pain. But now I have a lovely peel going on. Oh well... it was worth it. I had a blast.
Griffey had a follow up appointment with the vet on Wednesday. We got good news. His eye is 90% healed! The vet said it's remarkable considering how significant the injury was just a week ago. He has vision in the eye and hopefully things will continue to progress until he's completely recovered. We only have to put ointment in the eye twice a day now. Thank goodness. That's torture for both of us. And no more stupid lampshade thing on his head!
So my 3 words this week are for my baby boy.......

Earthquake was my FIRST thought and then I was like, "Oh but wait.. in OHIO?"... but holy cow, YES.
Glad Griffey is doing better!!
I was wondering if you felt it up there! Seriously, WTF?? That's perfect for three word Sunday for you!
Wow - it's usually only us Californian who get to experience the thrill of the earthquake. And that was a pretty strong one, too!
So happy to hear Griffey's eye is a lot better - poor thing.
EARTHQUAKE??? That will be a great story to tell you grandkiddos.... "Grandma survived the Ohio Earthquake of 2008"!!!

We have hurricanes, Georgia has tornados and Ohio has earthquakes? Odd indeed.

Good boy, Griffey!
How'd you like that earthquake? I've experienced a few of those in my lifetime. I usually spring out of bed and stand in the doorway. I'm well trained. At school we don't just have fire drills. We have earthquake drills, too.
