This morning at 5:30am, Katie woke me up because she heard something outside. I assume she is dreaming or something and try to go back to sleep…until I hear a definite noise coming from our window. Then I realize our air conditioner is moving, and someone is on the other end (we are on the first floor). I yelled a couple times to let whoever it was, know there were people inside awake and aware of them. A female voice replied, “umm… oh… umm… crap. I think I have the wrong window”. I said, “you definitely have the wrong window”. Then she vanished.

Needless to say we were a little freaked out. The blinds were shut and until the person spoke we thought it was someone breaking into our apartment. Being the manly-man that I am, I got dressed and went outside with a big Maglite to look around. I didn’t see anyone around the apartment building but did notice our window had been opened as far as it could, and the air conditioner was clearly out of place.

I chalk it up to a drunk who lost her keys and was looking for Toine’s bedroom. The thing is, there are two windows in our bedroom, one of which was wide open and had no air conditioner a mere two feet from the one she was trying to go through. She must have been a bit disoriented or something – though I can only base my judgments on the 10 words she said.

Today’s task: secure the window.
