This morning…I woke up in the dark…now…most mornings I wake up while it 
is still dark…but this was the…real…DARK…meaning that the power was off and there was absolutely no light coming from anywhere…
I found a flashlight…got my cell phone…and although it was pretty much time to get up…I did what any rational person would do…I went back to bed…I mean…what else could I do…
So I lay there in bed…imagining how the day would play out…if the power didn’t come back on in time for me to get ready for work…would I attempt makeup by candle light…or would I take it to work and apply it there…what would I have for breakfast…would I still carry my lunch or take a chance on the school cafeteria…
You got it…many life changing things went through my mind…
Thankfully the lights returned…and I didn’t have to make those decisions…well…I guess I still could have made them…but…I already put my makeup on…so…too late…
But…since I was already on a creative roll…I wondered…what if there was a cataclysmic event…that made the power go off…instead of the rain storm I knew we had…and…what if…I’m the only person left…what if I look out my door…and all the other houses are gone…mine is the only one…or…what if…like Dorothy…I’m not in Kansas anymore…what if I blew to another dimension…
And…my mind was out in left field before I knew it…
Thankfully…Bertha…reeled me back in…before the Zombies started ringing the doorbell…which makes me wonder…if the Wizard of Oz was written today…would the Wicked Witch of the West have a Zombie army…in addition to flying monkeys…
Hmmm…
Well…at this point…Bertha…is threatening that if I can’t control my imagination…she will be forced to find another…imaginary friend…
Whatever…maybe I’ll let the Zombies get her…now that should make for an interesting sequel…she’d probably just jump on her soapbox and teach them a thing or two…Bertha and the Zombies…

Until that sequel is available…why not check out…Bertha-Size Your Life!…and…Where the Joys Are: Bertha’s Guided Journal…
It’s always good to consider the What Ifs of certain situations. If you will write Bertha and the Zombies, I’ll buy two copies!
Why, thank you Peggy…be careful what you ask for…I just may write it. I wonder how Zombies will look in stilettos…and…do they have nails to polish? So much research to do! 😉
Hi Jane
I wish I was Dorothy to enter and Unknown dimension somewhere over the rainbow… 🙂
Happy week ahead to you!,

PS: Your post reminded me of a song by The Cranberries. I will attach it at Twitter for you to listen to it.
Oh…wouldn’t that be cool? Thanks for the YouTube link I enjoyed it! Happy week!
