Last night I slept terribly: every single creek or sniffle woke me up. I thought I would be okay, but the break-in definitely affected my sense of security in my own house. I guess that’s to be expected, but I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and was kind of nervous walking in the dark through the house. I turned on a flashlight even.

I am tired tonight as a result and I’m really hoping that I will be able to sleep better. It sucks to feel unsure of my safety, even though I’m relatively sure we’re fine. Dak fixed the screen so that there isn’t a visual reminder of the entire thing, but the new lock on the door is there and reminds me every time I go through the door.

It’s late and I’m going to try to sleep. Hopefully things go better tonight.
