SOLITUDE is my BEST friend, Foxys. I am a social butterfly. But there is NO ONE's company I enjoy more than my own. When I am alone, I am NEVER LONELY—except that time I thought I was going to die.
After about a week of heavenly bliss in my new apartment, a strange recording started blaring over an intercom located by my entry door. I had never noticed it before. I opened the door to my apartment to see if any of my neighbors were making any movement or coming outside, but there was no sign of life from anyone in the hallway, per usual. So I had to put on my big girl panties and figure out what the hell was going on by myself.
Chile! My Google Translate said the building was on fire, and I needed to get the hell out of there. (Well, I am loosely translating.) So I grabbed my glass of wine off the counter, wallet, and phone, and rushed down 11 flights of stairs. FOXY FAMZI, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON OUTSIDE. I looked like an idiot standing out there alone. No one told me this alarm was a regular routine. REGULAR ROUTINE??? Not in MY house! I immediately had my landlord deactivate the alarm in my house. It was against policy. If I go, at least I will have a top-shelf drink in my hand. LOL
Stay Foxy!
