I woke up early this morning, 4:58am to be exact.  I decided to go outside and sit for awhile.  As I sat there, I decided I would just listen to all that was going on in my area.  I could hear a very loud cricket, I wished he would shut up.  It was quiet (except for him) and occasional bark of a dog, the hiss of sprinklers on somewhere, a breeze ruffling the leaves in the trees.  The sky was beautiful, a sliver of a moon, sparkling stars, and odd things moving through the sky.  It was cool but the air was heavy with humidity.  We usually get a monsoon season, with thunderstorms and heavy rains.  But not this year.  The clouds pass through but they don't do anything.  I usually hear coyotes, but I haven't heard much from them this summer.  I heard an owl hooting a bit, and to watch their ghostly image flying through the dark sky is a little unsettling.  For me it has been a pleasant summer, never much hotter than 102 and I've really enjoyed the weather.  But, for some reason it's been a weird summer.  I don't know quite how to define it.  Just a unsettled feeling.  I'm not the only one feeling it either.  I wonder if it means something rough is coming our way.  I don't know.  My test is in a few days, and then I have to wait another week to see my doctor to find out the results.  The waiting is driving me nuts, and my children are a stressed about it too.  It all really affects your life.  It's scary, and upsetting.  All I know is that if the test comes out badly, I will face it and deal with it the best I can.  If it comes out good, I will be one of the happiest persons in the world.  As I blog and get to know other bloggers, and read about their problems and scary times in their lives, I am grateful that I have blogger friends that are willing to share their lives, and help me not feel so alone.  Thank you to all for your friendship.  Have a good night!
