The Mystery of the Falling Chair

Just because I can't get to sleep and I'm bored and avoiding other things I COULD be doing--productive things--I'll share with you a funny thing that happened tonight. I was almost asleep in bed when from within my bathroom I heard a big clunk! A big chair I'd had propped up against the wall in there fell to the floor with no explanation. My dog barked and I freaked out, thinking it was obviously a crazed intruder who was going to kidnapp me then kill me slowly in his dingy basement. I got up and tried to get my dog to enter the bathroom, but he figured "bathtime" and balked. Dogs! I tried getting him treats and throwing them inside the bathroom (better him get kidnapped than me) but he was suspicious. Finally I got my cell phone, typed in 911 so all I'd have to do would be press "send", and went and got myself a big steak knife from my kitchen. This was it! I was actually going to have to call 911 after I stabbed some nut in the belly. Actually, knowing me, I'd get so scared I'd probably just GIVE him the knife and close my eyes. I waited at the door with the knife and phone forEVER. I wanted to see if I could hear him breathe, or if he'd give himself away somehow. Nothing happened. Eventually, I cajoled my dog into trusting another treat I'd thrown. He went in and ate it and I jumped inside the bathroom, flipping on the light. Nothing of course. All this lack of sleep is making me jumpy. :) The mystery of the falling chair is still unsolved, however. Hmmm...
