Hmm

I have the vague (and probably paranoid) suspicion that someone was in the house when we came home tonight. A few things were not as I left them when we went out, and I felt a bit... uneasy. You know that "not right' feeling...

I had to give Babe a quick shower before bed, and while he was screaming his objections (he hates the shower, although I got him to take it with the promise that his head wouldn't get wet), I heard some stomping about, either downstairs or next door, together with a door closing. The sense of unease also lifted.

I really can't be sure if someone was in the house. And if someone was, it was probably the local at-risk youth who's more into mischief than harm at this point. But still...

I think I will be consistently locking the doors from now on.

What a shame.

No harm has been done, but I am going to go through the house top to bottom, checking behind all closed doors to make sure we're alone in the house before throwing the deadbolt tonight.

Otherwise said: yeah, I'm a little freaked out.

Take a baseball bat with you, or at least a heavy-duty flashlight, please.

Never fear, a mug of steeping Sleepytime tea was in my hand. Figured it would at least have the advantage of surprise (and would be far less likely to be used against me in the worst case scenario).

Fortunately, all is well here. Although the tea was a terribly blah. Too old, I guess.
