Muffled Crash

[poliphilo]

I thought it was my mother falling out of bed or off the commode- but it was only the bedside table hitting the deck. I think she must have knocked it over while trying to switch off the lamp. I was out of bed and at her side before she could call for help. No harm done- but it took me a long time to get back to sleep.

Good heavens, I'm glad she's ok. Being waked up with a jolt like that is rough; no wonder it took you a while to get back to sleep.

I'd rather it didn't happen too often.

Well, yeah. Major stressors aren't somthing you want a lot of in any context.
