A couple of days ago, in the wee hours of the morning, the tornado sirens started blaring. Now I had just started to feel sleepy (insomnia wasn't too bad that night) and I had my headphones on while playing some classical music. My mom came to my room and was like "Don't you hear the sirens?!?"
Long story short, we dragged the all the half awake children to the basement where they proceeded to complain about their disturbed sleep. Lb2 turned our radio to a local station to get an update and while we waited for the NWS to break in (which it never did), I started dancing in the basement to stay awake. You see our basement floods sometimes and I had no intention of laying on the floor and falling asleep. Thing is I gave all the good dozing spots to my sibs so only the floor was left.
Found out I don't dance half bad when I'm sleep deprived. LB2 said it's probably because I'm too tired to be self-conscious. I guess that's good to know. Not sure how that will be a help to me though.....
Anyway, we are all fine. It was a brief scare and now I don't feel comfortable listening to music at night. I mean, what if it happens again? If you understand this new paranoia I've unlocked, feel free to leave a message below.
