[NAGDU] Home alone

[Rox Homstad]

I don't think this is an unreasonable thing to worry about. About 3 months ago, a school where I teach was on lockdown for what turned out to be an active shooter drill but for the 10-15 minutes we were barricaded in our classroom hiding under a table, we didn't know if it was real or not, and I had a lot of time to think about if I died who would take care of my dogs at home and so i started texting people because I was honestly terrified. 
So now I try and let people know where Im going and check in with folks a little more, especially when traveling or in situations where you could run into trouble. 
Enjoy your night out.

If I have to leave Rosy home alone for whatever reason I make sure the dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, wax warmer are all off!  I stress out worrying about a fire, totally ridiculous, but I still worry!  I wont even go into how much I worry about my boys!!  😊

So I've told my neighbor we'll be out, and she can rescue Krokus in the unlikely event we don't get home.  I've probably confused the heck out of her.
