Just Another Bend In Journey of Life

What to do....I have to come up with a cake idea before next Saturday for S's birthday. It went from Tinkerbell to now maybe a butterfly..... Last year it was a princess castle. I will not go that elaborate this year. That was tough!
The other thing bothering me is that I couldnt' sleep the other night. I heard the raccoons outside that night so I decided to get the BB gun that my neighbor so nicely lent to me and went outside and grabbed a chair to wait for them to come back. It was about 115-130am. As I moved the chair so that I could see them better I noticed the door to my sauna was cracked open and the light was on. WTF?! I wasn't about to go over there, bb gun in hand or not. I called my dad at the office-no answer. Called the cell phone-- no answer. I finally called up to the Sheriff's Dept to see if he was there, which he wasn't but they radioed him for me. He called and I told him what was going on and then they stopped by. He and his partner wetn into the sauna and there was no one in there so they shut the lights off and closed and latched the door. I figured that my neighbor was over there checking/measuring the water pipes and just forgot to shut the lights off. No big deal. So Tuesday night I was outside putting out apples for the deer and decided that since it was still light out I'd go check the sauna. Again the freaking light was on!!!!!!! WTF is going on!? Pipes hadn't been replaced nor were they sautered. No fire had been lit in the stove (there was still a cobweb in it). I figured it must have been neighbor over there again. So yesterday I get to work and decide that I was going to call him since we work opposite shifts. "No honey, I haven't been in the sauna". Well WTF?! So on my lunch I went and got a lock for my back door (uh, ya) and stopped at home. We rigged it so that we'd be able to tell if someone was in there again. I have a feeling I have someone needing a place to sleep. No big deal really but talk about freak me the hell out! I mean, I don't know if this person is a pedophile or what. I mean, they could be trying to sneak a peek into my house at night. So needless to say, S has been sleeping w/ me and I now have sheets up on the windows that I didn't have blinds/curtains for yet (still deciding on the "perfect" color. I checked this morning and no one has been in there last night so..... IDK. I had dreams all night last night. Weird. I dreamed it was the middle aged bag boy at the grocery store that is always really nice and friendly... But I freaked out 'cause the way my bedroom is set up is that I can see directly out the kitchen window while I'm laying in bed. Of course when it's dark out it's hard to see whether anyone is standing back staring at you. I only have a valance on that window. It's one that's above the sink so it's a smaller window but still... Maybe I should sprinkle some flour on the back porch tonight so that way I could tell if someone was walking on it???? That actually sounds like a really good idea. When it's dark out at night you can't see anything back there. The funny thing is that if someone is sleeping in there at night, why are they leaving the lights on? (Both lights, the one in the changing room and the one in the sauna.) I mean, if you're trying to be sneeky wouldnt' you make sure to shut the lights off? That would make sense to me. Then again, some people are dumb.
One of the other things troubling me is that I STILL cannot recover the pics from the external hard drive. We tried at work today and we're pretty much certain it's shot. This just makes me want to throw up. Sickens me to the core. I'm going to bring my pc into work tomorrow and have them put it in there and see what they can do. Hopefully it'll work although we're thinking it's pretty grim. I could just throw up. He said something about the arm that reads the disk is knocking on it or not reading it or something. IDK, too confusing for me. All I can get out of it is that I"M SCREWED!!!!!
