and we met some new neighbors! Last night around 9:15 pm a piercing alarm started going off in our apartment. We thought it was the smoke detector (which often goes off when we're cooking for no reason). I was sitting on the couch in my jammies, glass of wine in hand, having just gotten home from a track meet around 8:30pm. Keeper rips the smoke detector off the wall and realizes...it's not coming from the smoke detector. He finds the alarm that's going off from our bedroom. There is nothing we can do to turn it off. The dog was starting to freak out a little bit so Keeper told me to "put some big girl clothes on" and come outside. We evacuated to the courtyard to find everyone else out there too. Apparently alarms were going off in at least 3 of the buildings that make up our complex. No one smelled smoke, no one knew why. The clubhouse and pool had lights flashing and alarms too.
So we waited outside with our neighbors until the alarms stopped and...met some nice people! It's funny how we all live here and don't really interact with each other. Onyx loved all the people and dogs; she thought it was party time! I noticed one guy in jammie pants and a t-shirt with a wine glass...he was doing the same thing I was when the ruckus started! The alarms stopped and we went back inside...never found out what caused them. But we do know some more people here now!
