Flying Ceiling Fan Blades

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 by Rachel

IMG_0269Last night, I went to sleep at 11. Woke at 1:30 to loud crash. Thought someone was breaking into the house. Derrick investigated. Nothing. Woke at 7:30 for real. Entered computer room only to find two ceiling fan blades on the ground. The blades had spun off the fan while we were sleeping, flying into the air, denting/scuffing wall before landing on the floor.

 

This freaks me out… REALLY freaks me out. If you refer back to this entry Here!, you’ll see that I listed ceiling fans over me when I’m sleeping as one of the top 30 things that give me the heeby jeebies. I’ve always worried that a ceiling fan would fall on me and mutilate my body like a blender in bed. Now I need to revise my phobia to include flying blades. I am so lucky that this didn’t hit my computer–or hit me in the head!
