I just got the bean dip scared out of me. I was watching the idiot box and there was a loud noise at my window. Sounded like a ladder hitting my metal sill outside. I got up and looked but there was nothing and no one out there. And yes, every light in and outside of the house is lit.

Now I know in one part of my brain that all the windows are locked ( I just checked ) and I am safe. But being alone, the other part of my brain is in full flight mode. I hate that feeling.

What do you do when you are alone and frightned?
