Crickets

Yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work, I heard a cricket chirping in my den. Since the den is attached to the garage, occasionally we have a stray cricket. It was a loud, continuous noise. I never looked for the cricket, as they are good at hiding and I had no time. When I got home from work, I had totally forgotten about it. When I went to sleep last night, I heard it again. This time it was in my bedroom. I have no idea how it snuck up two flights of stairs and made its way into my bedroom. My room is the last door on the upper level, so it must have taken all day to travel. All night it chirped. I felt like I was camping in the mountains. When I come home this afternoon, I will have to go on a cricket hunt.
