Things That Go 'BUMP' In The Night...

...it was more like BOOM! That's how my day started...at 4am! I was jarred awake by a horrifically loud boom and my house shook! I was scared to death! I thought that it was the end of me at first, and then I went to investigate, and a million and a half versions of what the noise could have been went through my mind. I felt SO alone and thought I may be losing my mind. It happened again at 5am, accompanied by a blast of light. Repeat insane thinking. And then again at 7 or 7:30am, but a series of booms this time. My friend Mere was going through the same thing (I wish I knew she was awake!), as I discovered when I saw her missed call at 7:28am and missed text at 5am. From now on, the phone will be in my room, damn it! We thought it was our crazy neighbor's crazy son, but after call to the 5th district, an angry knock on said neighbor's door, and a visit to St. Lucy's rectory, I was informed that it was the church's transformer that was exploding all frickin' night! PECO is still outside...if this goes blank then you know that they snipped the wrong wire!
Other than that insanity, had a mildly productive day. Helped Tricia move some more stuff into her new home and hung out with her and Randi (and the dogs) for a few. No gym, but I'll make up for it tomorrow. Took some stuff to the new consignment shop on Main Street. Wonder if I'll be seeing anyone walking the streets in Kat's clothes!
Hopefully sleep will be more peaceful (and less frightening) tonight...
