Crows, a possible new neighbor, and bad photos.

Wow, I almost forgot about this blog. It's been a long while. Sorry about that.
Still having that dream. I think I'm pretty much numb to it now, after having it night after night after night for so long. I wish I could say the same about the quiet nights. Well, almost quiet. There finally are SOME animals making noise. A pair of crows recently moved into some trees in my backyard, and they've been cawing in the mornings and evenings all the time. But they're the only animals I've been hearing - and seeing, for that matter. I heard they sometimes kill other smaller birds. Maybe they scared all the other animals off? Well, they're neat to look at, anyways. I've never seen crows in real life before, only in pictures. I guess I don't mind them moving in too much.

Speaking of moving in, I think we might be getting a new neighbor. I went to check the mail the other day, and I noticed a guy standing on the side of the road a few houses down, in front of a house that's been up for rent for a while. I think it was the same guy I saw back in January. Bald guy with a suit. I didn't see his face, he was too far away. I guess he was checking out the house, thinking of renting it? I find it kind of weird that he was wearing that black business suit, though. Especially out here in this country area. He was just weird all over. Gave me a bit of the creeps.

Oh yeah! It's been warmer now lately, so I decided to take a longer walk through the woods behind our house. I took a bunch of pictures with my digital camera, but they all came out....weird. All snowy and warped looking. I took some more pictures of my cat later, and they came out fine. I wonder what was wrong? Anyway, on my way back to the house, I could hear our new crow friends cawing at me the entire time. Well, maybe not cawing at me, but just cawing in general.

I hope to go browse around town with MOUSE this weekend. She's FINALLY not busy now.
Ow, I've got a headache all of the sudden. I guess I should go eat some lunch.

Cold weather, missing dog, and a stroll through the woods.

Sorry I haven't been updating daily like I said I would try to. There just hasn't been anything really going on. I've been staying in because of the cold weather. Though I did take a short walk through the woods back behind my house this afternoon. But I didn't walk very far because of how cold it was. I think I'll go back and take a longer walk when spring gets here.

I've been taking sleeping meds every night for the past few nights. It's just been so hard to fall asleep lately. I still keep having that nightmare about the forest, too. I'm starting to get creepy feelings whenever it gets late and the sun goes down. The fact that everything outside is dead silent at night doesn't help, either.

Oh yeah, remember that beagle that I said wouldn't stop barking? Apparently, he's missing. The owners think he was stolen, since the fence in their backyard is too high for him to have jumped over, and there are no holes at the bottom of the fence for him to have squeezed through. They're really broken up over it. I know I'd be same way if something ever happened to my Tracy.
