Things that Go Bump in the Night..

So this is a little creepy..

(and explains why Autum (she is my 8 year old cat) was acting a little odd this morning...)

I am laying in bed getting ready to motivate myself to shower.. because really, when you work at home.. no one is going to notice if you have a cloud of stink around you like Pig Pen from Peanuts.

Back to the story..

I was laying in bed trying to get her attention by running my fingers accross the side of the bed so she would come snuggle with me.

She would look at my hand and look insistently to the kitchen.

This went on for about ten minutes. I blew it off and just figured that Simon (3 year old cat) was taunting her all night and she was just watching her back.

So I get up and make some coffee, get in the shower and get ready to start my day.

About half hour into my work day I go out to the porch to smoke..

much like I usually do. Nothing different so I think.

I walk out on to the porch and I see that the door to the water heater closet is open..

Now this has a door knob on it that actually is secure. It is pretty tight to so you really kind of have to turn it to get it open, so it isn't like the wind could open it.

I have not opened that door in about 3 months.. I have no need to. It just has a bunch of crap in there that I really don't need.

Why would this door be open?

I don't have a problem with the water heater.... So there was no maintenance call..

My front door was locked..

Why would somebody jump the wall to my porch to look in the closet?

I think maybe I should really start listening to my cats when they start acting a little odder than normal.

Needless to say.. I am a little creeped out..

I think I will actually be sleeping with my baseball bat tonight in my bed rather than next to the bed..
