A bat!

There was a bat in the house yesterday!  Last evening we were in the living room watching TV and suddenly something went flying across my field of vision. At first I thought it was a bird, but then a few more swoops and we both could see it was a bat!  Yikes!  I ducked out of the way, while hubby got a fly swatter.  I tried opening the back porch door but it was flying upstairs and then back down.  Hubby smacked it with the swatter and hit it the first time.  It fell to the floor and he scooped it up with the swatter and threw it outside.  We don't know if it died or not and I wasn't particularly wishing it any harm but I sure as hell didn't want it flying in the house.


Hubby told me he thought he felt something brush the back of his leg when he was going to the bathroom the night before around 3:00AM and then fly into the bathtub.  He pushed the shower curtain aside but didn't see anything so he passed it off.  It must have stayed hidden somewhere maybe our closet until last evening. That gave me the creeps all over again! Ick!  Hope that doesn't happen again any time soon!


Well after having my car for 6 1/2 years, I saw the mileage turn to 17000 miles on Thursday evening Yup that is one of the great things about working from home....very little other driving when don't have to commute. :)


Today I didn't have to work so I cleaned out my side of the closet.  I noticed that I have been having a hard time finding hangers. Now I know whenever hangers start getting scarce, time to go through the closet! :)  I got rid of a lot of old clothes I was hanging onto that didn't get tossed the last time I purged my wardrobe.  There were some things more than 10 years old that I kept thinking I'd wear again sometime. Not!  Got rid of 3 bags of clothes that are going to Goodwill. Now there are plenty of hangers and all my tops, dresses, etc., are nicely organized, even down to the color, well for now anyway.  I am so happy now when I look in my closet and I finally can say I have more new-ish clothes than old, out-dated clothes. My color selection has grown from drab to very colorful as well.  I've really spread my color palette out!
