Isn’t she cute? I am praying that she will be there on Saturday when I go to pick a kitty from the local shelter. I saw her picture on their website and just.. knew! I just really hope she’ll be there.
And it is now coming up on bat season. Last year I had an .. episode with a bat – two bats in fact. Late last summer I woke up one evening to the sound of flapping. Opening my eyes I was astounded to find that there was a very large bat flying around my bedroom.
I stayed up all night with all the lights on and a broom clutched tightly but after my severe screaming the bat stayed hidden.
The next night, as I was sitting at the computer with my headset on, the bat decided to make a reappearance just as I was pressing my “push-to-talk” button and chatting with some friends – it landed on my head, folks. I screamed into my microphone and took off from the computer chair, and.. remember? headset was on – so I ended up dragging my computer tower across the floor a few good feet before I realized what was happening.
So this year I will be armed with my broom, hopefully a fixed window within the next few weeks, and a cat. Between the three of us I hope to defend myself through another season of bats.
And finally – sign up on Twitter! My username is Benz1966 so add my to your friends list. As of right now I just have Chris as my friend, and that makes me feel quite pitiful =( (Not that you make me feel pitiful Chris.. it’s just, you know!)
Oh, sure, I see how it is. 😉
[…] It’s 2:30 a.m. on July 3, 2007. I am woken out of my deep sleep by loud squeaking sounds, much like a broken fan. The fan that runs next to my bed is working fine. The purr machine, Sergei is curiously absent. The sounds are coming from the utility room – sounds of a cat hissing and a bat squealing. Me, being the wuss I am, quickly shut the door and shove towels under it to prevent this. […]
