Creepy

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to a woman screaming for help. I woke Mike up and went to the window. I saw a girl walking away from the building, nonchalant, no panic or excitement visible in her demeanor. She glanced over her shoulder once as if to make sure no one was following or watching her before fading into the darkness. All of this happened before Mike got to the window. He didn't see anyone and hadn't heard anything. I almost had myself convinced that it had been a dream but when I peeked out the window this morning the screen from the window in the downstairs apartment had been pushed out. Now all day I've been waiting to hear some news from the cops or some other source that someone had been attacked downstairs. I keep waiting for the girl to walk by, for her to pull some Gothika shit on me.
I'm jumpy to say the least.
Ari's party was a pure success. She loved all of her presents and had fun playing in the dirt, swimming and frolicking with friends. My mom was bearable and didn't embarrass me too much. She had too black eyes and one of her teeth is rotting right out of her head. It was startling and scary. She invited me to Thanksgiving dinner which gives me hope because at least now she believes she will live until Nov. Her levels jump up and down like they are on some demonic pogo stick (cue system of a down) and everytime she finds out they've gone down she gets her hopes up which in turn gets mine up.
No news on the money from Mike's dad yet, I've kind of given up hope on that too. All I've got left is Keira and the fact that Ari might get into headstart.
