I can't really describe how I felt by the end of the day but it started out like this. .
Excited for a Valentines day litter! Anxiously waiting for their arrival, tracking down some willow twigs for momma 'cause she had seemed a little distressed.
All present and healthy when I stopped back for my lunch break.
Then an hour before my work day ended, this happened. . . .
A house exploded on Main street. The shockwave was so bad I thought part of our roof had collapsed originally. Or that it was the gas station or fuel depot that had gone. Those working down near it thought a train had derailed. . .
The explosion registered at a 5 on the Richter scale.
Two houses are just gone, another is just a burned out husk. Windows blown out all down the street. So far determined to be a natural gas explosion.
Somehow
Nobody died. The family had left earlier to run errands, the neighbors were out, no one was driving past when it blew. . .
Took forever to get home.
Turned on the news and found there had been another school shooting. . . .
Ash Wednesday
Valentines Day
Popples
Explosion
Shooting. . . .
I just kinda checked out after all that.
