Last night I kept waking up to see my wife awake late. She couldn't sleep and was watching TV. I remember at 2:30am waking up and she was still up. (Don't read this next sentence if you still have any respect for me.) I ripped one off real loud, and she jumped. I giggled and went back to sleep. At 3am she woke me up and told me someone was in the backyard with a flashlight. I hopped out of bed and ran to the window. I couldn't see anything. I pulled the blinds back, opened the window, and yelled, "HEY!" My dogs were just sitting there in the grass. I looked out the bathroom window. Nothing. Then I started making my way through the house to check on everyone. The back door was unlocked, but I don't remember locking it before I went to bed. I went out back and didn't see anyone or anything. The gate was closed which if someone was back there, and I scared them away, I would not expect them to take the time to latch the gate back up. Also, there's no way Cinammon (not a cat) would not have been jumping all over them. I went out to the front of the house. One thing that was weird was that my neighbor's garage was open and the light on. The guy practically lives in it anyway, but I didn't think much of it at first. I kind of feel safe having him in around because he's like the neighborhood watch dog. Anyway, I did another sweep of the house and then went out the front door. Now the garage was closed. Hmmm.
Well, I went back to bed and now I couldn't sleep. Then the motion detecting floodlights from the neighbor behind me came on. I poked my head out the window again, but didn't see anyone. I'm guessing it was their dogs. But I'm almost convinced that this is what my wife saw although she says she saw the light moving. But remember, she was a little jumpy already. A little while later right when I dozed off a light came on in the house. It was just Abby going potty.
To make a long story short, I was in no mood to get up early to go running this morning. Maybe I'll go this afternoon. | |
