EARTHQUAKE!!

We had a quake (4.2) this morning. Many on LJ felt it. It was apparently a strong jolt, due to the epicenter being so close to SF. I slept through it. Strange being a light sleeper that I am. But with 12 days of straight work, and stress with my moms situation, maybe I am really more tired than I think.
Wonder if this is somehow related to the Japan quake? After Japan had theirs, I though that maybe we would be next. Still wonder why the newscasts say "quake" when it is a 1.0 or less. What does one consider a "tremor"?
(QUAKE)

Fuck!

My sister just emailed me. Mom was feeling better yesterday. Today she threw up during her therapy, and now feels like there is a brick of cement on her chest. And of course all her doctors are on vacation; so they are just passing the buck (so much for our medical system). This really concerns me and my sister. This up and down roller coaster is driving me crazy. My stomach is now nervous ridden. I may be over reacting, but I am really worried, stressed, and feel like crying. I think I'll do that at home, at lunch. I've been trying to keep my mind off of this. But it is finally catching up with me. Guess it has really been somewhat of a shitty week.

Sorry.... just needed to vent this one :-(
