i woke up around 8:08am this morning to the detolf shaking. i thought someone was running the washer, but when i didn’t hear the washer, i knew something was wrong. the detolf shake got louder and i got up to hold it still. after a few seconds, it stopped. not thinking how strange it was in the moment, i took bagel out. he peed and we came back inside. when i walked through my door, i went over and shook the detolf myself. i looked around the sides and behind it, still nothing was there that would’ve caused a shake. i laid down, went to google, and there was a survey at the top of my search results asking if i felt a shake. i texted dbaze, dono, money, and alexis. out of all 4 of them, only alexis felt the shake. there was an earthquake of 5.1 magnitude near the nc/va border. that’s gotta be 200 miles away, and we still felt that here??
as much as i want to sleep this anxiety off, i have work in a few hours so i think i’d be better off staying up at this point.
