5:00 a.m. Knocking at the Door

This morning just before 5:00 am I was awakened by knocking at my door. Given all the crap I have to sleep through with three small children, bad neighbors, and two cats (one of which is "yowling tonkanese" to the point of scaring visitors), I was amazed how fast the knocking at the door had me awake and pumped with adrenaline. It was instantaneous.

Turned out no one was there. But I was glad that nothing in my preparations failed. Safe worked, weapons and lights where they needed to be. Kids sleeping their beds safe and sound.

Only change is that I need motion lights around the house. Shining an LED light through the window lights up the window more than the yard.

Took about an hour for the adrenaline to wear off...

Oh, and I will be asking the neighbors today if they got any knocks either.
