It was hot last night.
I was restless.
There was a lot of noise in the street.
Eventually I heard a woman screaming, and my dog jumped out of bed and went to the window barking.
I told him to shut up and come back to bed.
This afternoon the police put a flyer through the door, saying a woman was assaulted in my road, at around the time I heard all the noise.
I guess that's what I heard.
As if I wasn't scared enough of going outside...

In other news, it is now less than one month until my best friend (only friend), daughter number one, leaves home.
Aside from the fact I am agoraphobic and can't leave the house without her, I am a mother, and I am going to miss my baby like crazy.
