Dream a little dream<\/p><\/div>\n

This is now like you would feel after a period of really high tension, and things calm down, and you go way down.\u00a0 I am so stressed out now I feel like I need a mental health day off from work.\u00a0 But I plow on, instead of taking off from work I lean on Morgan to spend some time with me in the early evening.\u00a0 All our time together for so long has been all about the stalker, and now that the video system has seemed to have done the trick, I want to get back to the way it was – I want to do something fun together.<\/p>\n

Morgan is going to take her niece out to the store which just excites little Joni to no end.\u00a0 At 11:14 am I finish the phone end of the arrangements, and text to Morgan, \u201cOk just call Leesa on her cell when you get there and she’ll bring Joni to the car for you or you can get out and knock on the door – Joni is really excited!\u201d\u00a0 They have a great time together, and I\u2019m uneasy that the installation of a video system has completely restored order back into our lives, but it certainly seems to have.<\/p>\n

After Morgan has fun with Joni and drops her back at her house, it’s my turn with Morgan, and we have a great time talking about all the stuff we used to on quiet days. \u00a0We crash out on the couch with her little puppy Wylah sleeping on the floor right under Morgan. \u00a0Morgan’s sister is cleaning house, and found a gift from Morgan from a long time ago.\u00a0 A little clay imprint of Morgan\u2019s hand, glazed and fired, a permanent memento of her little sister.\u00a0 She texts Morgan, \u201cLook what I found… Little Morgan hand imprint… I put it next to mine for comparison… ;)\u201d There was a picture of the two together, and Morgan\u2019s fingers might have been a little longer, sure sign of a piano player!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That night Morgan goes to the Penny Hot Springs with her friends. \u00a0While she is gone, at around 11:00 pm, the motion lights on the back of the house go on.\u00a0 But it is coupled with nothing else so we record it, but ignore it.\u00a0 A while later the motion detector driveway alarm also sounds, but same thing, unless Rhonda\u2019s dog joins in, or one of the video cameras sounds, and alarm us we will record it and ignore it.\u00a0 I wrote a happy face in my day-runner today.\u00a0 For a while we think all has returned to normal.\u00a0 Steve reviews the cameras when he gets home, and is happy that every warning of a possible event is nothing on the cameras.<\/p>\n

We talk about going somewhere, and doing something.\u00a0 It is a completely different atmosphere in the house now.\u00a0 As it all ratcheted up one click at a time, it was hard to really see the full effect.\u00a0 Now that it had all been released it was really easy to see the difference. \u00a0And what a difference it was. . .<\/p>\n

(Police reports later show the \u201csuspect\u201d was not working this evening. \u00a0On 9.23.2011 he worked from 8:31 am \u2013 12:39 pm & then from 1:10 pm \u2013 3:26 pm)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
