Strangest Wake-Up Call Ever...?

I genuinely had the strangest experience of my life this morning, and I don't know what to do besides write it down.

I am house-sitting a gorgeous house in Laguna Beach for a friend right now, so I sleep here and stay with the dog.

6:45 AM today I heard the strangest knocking sound, so I got a little scared that someone was knocking on the door - especially when the dog started going crazy. But instead of going to the door, Gizmo ran straight to the master bedroom and was barking towards the back patio (which is on the beach.)

I look outside and see a woman rearranging the patio furniture. She then proceeds to lie down in one of the chairs, puts her jacket over her like a blanket and pulls out a magazine to read.

WHAT.

THE.

HECK.

It's so early and I'm so confused I think maybe my friend has a housekeeper she didn't tell me about, and she just came early to enjoy the view. Otherwise how would she have a key to get into the patio?

Anyway, I walked right outside and asked her if I could help her, and we had a conversation about how she wants to rent a house here, and thought that this was a public patio and that she would just wait until the offices opened.

Ummmm...

"This is a private patio, ma'am."

"Oh! Do you live here?"

"No, I stay here while my friend is away."

"Well how much is rent??"

"I don't know."

"Oh, you don't live here?"

"No."

"So are these separate homes?"

"Yes."

"Do you know how much they cost?"

"Nope."

"Do you know where the cheapest place to live around here is?"

"No..."

Seriously... this continued for I don't know how long, until I told her I was going inside and when I came back out I hoped she would be gone.

I then thought to ask her if she jumped the gate. That would be quite the feat for a 60-some year old lady.

She didn't, it was unlocked. Perfect.

Kind of glad it was a 60-year-old lady who discovered that, not someone else.

I locked all the doors, watched her for a bit, lied down for like 5 minutes, and came back and she was gone.

I'm still so confused that I don't quite know how to feel about the whole thing.

So just had to write it all down. What a morning.
