deep thoughts

quakin’

written by Jana July 29, 2008

Just survived an earthquake in the hospital. We’re on the 3rd floor and things really shook but stayed intact. John and Catgirl were close at hand–it was CG’s first real earthquake experience. What a memorable one that will be!

I am feeling pretty good today. The wound is feeling better, the PICC line means no more IVs, and we are trying a new antibiotic because of my allergic reaction to the previous one. Everything is looking up!

I do hope that all that were hit harder by the quake will be okay.

5.8 at Chino Hills/Yorba Linda area. I’m in Utah but was just google chatting with a friend in Burbank when it hit. Thought of you right away when I pulled up the USGS online quake map and noticed how close Irvine is! Am very glad to hear your healing continues unabated.

Yeah, that was a big one, and a long one too. Uh, the earthquake that is. So long that after 10 seconds or so I decided I better crawl under my desk.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet more than fifteen years ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, started a history podcast, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). For my 38th birthday and 25th anniversary of my bone cancer diagnosis, we (meaning me and you) bought legs for a young double-amputee from China. This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
