Okay, that's weird.

There are 4 squirrels and 6 birds out on my balcony right now. They're just sitting on the ledge, staring down and occasionally jumping to the floor or the chair I keep out there, then back to the ledge. It's distinctly non-squirrelly behavior. I don't want to go out there and scare them away or freak them out (squirrels can carry rabies, right?), but it's just really, really weird.

ETA: Aaaand I just got a call from one of our clinics up in North Raleigh. Apparently one of their front desk people called during her lunch and called out the rest of the day due to an emergency of some kind and the clinic wanted to know if I could come work there from 4 to close. I could always use the money, but I don't know if I really want to drive that far out.

Zombies? What the hell are you talking about, sis? I mean, yeah, zombies are fun and all, but A) not real and B) would they REALLY be as tacky as to start the Great Zombie Uprising on Friday the 13th?

brainless undead aren't exactly tactful you know... :)
hell could just be cranky out of school teenagers... similar in scope to zombies last interaction i had with them,...

I'll grant you that a lack of higher brain power would result in some loss of social graces.

But really, Sara, where the hell are you coming from with this zombie stuff? People are acting weird as fuck around here like there's some kind of disaster, but I haven't heard anything online or on the TV or radio.

people make fun of me for living with a gun nut, but the girl scout in me says i'm just prepared.
sorry youre not here drew, we have a freezer full of beef, a generator, a well, and enough ammo and Wii games to last us a LONG time :)
remember, heavy blunt objects to the head. flesh wounds are useless wastes of energy and ammo.

love you bro.

I have my baseball bat handy and I've pretty throughly blocked the front door. There are 3 or 4 of them right outside and I hear some more moaning coming from somewhere nearby in the complex. I can't see them, but I suspect that there are at least 2 or 3 dozen close by.

My phone is fully charged, so if the power goes out, I'll try to keep updating via the voice post feature.
