Good day! I hope your morning went well. I thought I'd tell you all something to make you smile as you think of me & my crazy, needy home. About 4 AM, I was truly shaken awake as if someone was grabbing my shoulder. My cat was screaming & running around, clearly agitated. I had never seen him like this. Outside, my house was surrounded by a strange orange haze. I couldn't even see the fence. I immediately thought FIRE, remember I have no sense of smell or taste over 5 years now, but none of the smoke alarms were going off. My couch was vibrating and there was a weird motor like sound. I sat there for a minute, trying to ascertain WTF!! I'm seeing "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" flashbacks 😳. My heart ❤️ 💙 💜 was pounding out of my chest! I wasn't having a heart attack because with 5 stents in my heart 💔 but it's always in the back of my mind. I was awake! I even pinched myself. But I was riveted to the sofa. It went away about 2 minutes later. I know they've been putting new sidewalks on both sides of Park Ave. (only bumf**k Titusville) As I'm texting now, I hear a crew outside working. I'm afraid to go ask 😕 if anything happened because then I'd really be the crazy old hag at 124! I never went back to sleep for hours. Then I start my morning with a 10 AM phone call with my surgery & admittance info. Not clear-headed, but writing every word down she said. I finally get up to see a shiny dime where my hips were. My tip, I guess. 😆
