ummm, so like, we're all ok, ok?

luckily, the fire department didn't get called yet cuz luckily (i think) the smoke alarms didn't go off yet (though i wonder what it takes to set them off as there was smoke all around them) and so i sit here with the front and patio doors wide open and the fan on high and the air conditioner on high and i guess all the fanning of the smoke detector in the dining room (there is none in the kitchen itself and there's a more-than-a-foot ceiling lip or whatever the technical term for it might be around the kitchen area that kept the smoke from pouring into the smoke alarm) kept the alarms from going off and that lead me to notice that there are no smoke alarms in the bedrooms so a smoker who falls asleep (or a short in the bedroom) is dead and will cause much damage to the apartments but that's what you get in the cheaper older apartment communities, so umm, well, except for a little burning of the eyes, ummm, so like, we're all ok, ok? (excuse the laughter, i know this is serious, jackson and happiness are still fast asleep and i can't hear the tv cuz of the doors being open, i mean, serious, right?... maybe i should have popcorn tonight)...

boy, living in (e)thereal can be startling...
