Had a fire in our apartment complex yesterday! It was a garage next to our apartment building. Nothing but the garage was damaged, but, wow, what a scary experience! I now know how totally panicky I can get. LOL. We've asked ourselves and others the question of, "If your house was on fire, what would you grab?" many times and talked it over, but when I actually thought my apartment WAS on fire, what did I grab? NOTHING. My coat and my purse. That's it. I forgot the laptops, I forgot my diaries, I even forgot the cat!

So afterward Stephen and I talked about coming up with a 5-point plan or something in the event that our place really did catch on fire. We haven't done so yet, but at least the idea is on the horizon. I've decided I need to pack my diaries back up into a box so that I can carry them out with me if that ever happens.

They're currently resting on a shelf, gathering dust. I used to reread them so I could learn from them, but now I feel like an altogether different person, and I think rereading them would be more of a "That's who I once was" experience rather than a "What do I do wrong and how can I fix it?" LOL. I probably should've started a whole new line of diaries when I got married.

Anyways. I don't have much to write, but a comment from Amy inspired me to write something. I'm glad people still read my diary. :)
