This evening I posted on FB about the way I sleep-think, looking for at least a few comments from spectators that stick out to me.
In between waiting for those unicorn comments, I was reading an article about ADHD (a comment suggestion from the post and I don’t rule anything out without at least reading up on it).
I dozed off and was sleep thinking about the article and I noticed that I felt extra aware of my surroundings. It was a quick passing thought while I was sleeping, but that’s when I heard it.
The tapping/clicking noise. Then the back door camera notification dings.
I don’t have a back porch, just steps leading up to door. In order to get the best view of the yard area, that means sacrificing the detection area of the steps. For reference, I’m 5’3” and standing on the second step (for room to open the glass door) the camera view will only capture the top of my head.
So, when I realize this clicking/tapping noise, I know that it’s coming from the door handle and whatever is tapping the button on the handle is shorter than I am because it’s not in the camera view.
And I know that sound because I have the same glass door on my front door and when my toddler grandson is trying to open it (he can’t fully push the button) he taps it like that over and over.
I go to check it out…
There’s nothing out there. Not a single thing.
So, I collect my rattled nerves and I replicate it…just to make sure that’s what I was hearing.
Idk what was clicking this button but I’m damn sure glad the camera triggered to catch the sound.

In response to Miranda (I can’t add video to comment replies): Yes, I did try that this morning and here’s a video I took…
