Anxiety

I'm afraid of lightning. No joke. I may have mentioned this here before. I live on the 14th floor near some very tall buildings, and the tall buildings are all right on my block, and there's nothing else nearby. So the lightning, it hits right here. Probably hits my building, though it likely hits across the street cause that building is significantly taller. But man, it's freakin' loud up here, way louder than in any other apartment I've ever lived in. And I have an unobstructed view looking west over the city, so I see all the lightning strikes for miles and miles. I see the storms coming in, which is kinda cool, actually way cool, until it gets here, and then I hide in the hallway, cause I get really freaked out.

I say this because there is a Severe Armageddon Alert for Chicago tonight. 2" hail and 60 mph winds. No joke. No exaggeration.

So it's been nice knowing y'all. I'm gonna go hide for a while.
