(85,373 posts)You haven't lived until you've had a small cat in her carrier, a bunny with the equivalent of AIDS in a special bunny stroller, a Beagledor, the Kid with her portable DVD player, our hysterical neighbor (who keeps the bunny), all crammed in a half-bath, with the radio blasting minute-by-minute, blow-by-blow progress of the twisters while the tornado warning is extended....and extended...
and the neighbor is suffering from PTSD from living 20 years in California (earthquake, 2 wildfires, and various other events) and wants me inside with the door shut because she feels threatened...
(NO F***KING WAY! I'M NOT CRAZY, NOR DO I WISH TO BE CLAUSTROPHOBIC!)
and I'm trying to keep it cool because the last thing I need is the Kid catching the hysteria fever....
and 6 hours later I'm out throwing papers..
