11:00 at night, and there is this apparently insane bird in the tree that sits outside our house. I've never heard this one before--it has a call that sounds like a squeaky fan belt, lasts about 6 seconds from start to finish, and has about 7 seconds of silence from the end of one call until the next one begins. Plus, I can't believe how freakin' LOUD it is! I'm inside the house with everything closed, the AC and television on, and it still pretty much drowns everything out. It also seems to be bringing out the noise in the other resident wildlife, as it sounds sort of like a jungle when I step outside. Normally, I love nature but after working 80 hours this week, and knowing that I am baking about 24 dozen cookies tomorrow, I'd really like to get some sleep.

Apparently, I just needed to grumble, and DH is asleep already.
