Earthquake? So I'm not just losing it? Phew.

As all Canadians know, Toronto is the centre of the universe. Well, I must inform you that an earthquake took place at the centre of the universe today, and disrupted life for approximately eight seconds.


I, personally, did not realize it was an earthquake until a fellow building resident (aka neighbour) asked me if I had felt the earthquake.

"Oh, is that what it was?!" I asked, incredulously.

In all seriousness, I had attributed the moving and shaking to my imagination or low blood sugar. At one point in those eight seconds, I even thought, "Maybe it's really windy out," and continued reading my book.

Learning the truth was a relief- I'm not crazy or physically ill!- but I was also surprised at how readily I had taken credit for an earthquake (only a small one, but still.)
