Something brushed up my leg as I walked down the stairs. I know it is silly, I shouldn't be so tense. The cellar is really not the wildest room here. Try the attic one day and you'll see what I mean. Something slithered past me, I'm not going crazy. There was a hushed whistle just a minute ago. Wait, don't leave me here, I am going with you! I am not a chicken! I want to protect you… Did you feel the cold air from the north wall just now? Of course that I'm not scared! I'm just asking, that's all.

Tonight, the Moon played hide-and-seek with me. You see, I'm not really used to tracking its position in the sky and knowing where it is at any given time. I usually just look out and notice it if it's there; otherwise, I don't even remember it. But when I came looking for it tonight, it wasn't where I usually see it, ie outside our apartment windows. With a laugh, I turned around to look at my dear hubby and exclaimed "someone stole the Moon!" Haha. I know, it's not all that funny and I need to get out more.
