megan, not that it's much comfort, but bats can get in via any crack or space that's small enough for a mouse. At this time of year they're looking for warm, safe winter roosts where people don't run around screaming with blankets over their heads. Opening a couple windows to let it find its way out is the best course....
Bizarrely, that is comforting. At least it hasn't been there for weeks and weeks. Maybe it came in with the mouse and is wondering where its friend went. I've left open the storm doors and will check tomorrow to see if it has gone. Not tonight. Did I mention I was in the middle of reading
The Historian?
Not a time you want to start seeing bats!
How long do hockey games last?
Depends on if you like them.
officially freaking out has begun. well, begun like 4 hours ago.
I have completed the paint stripping of the outside of the fixtures in the bathroom. I did 6 applications of stripper this weekend - at least 11 layers of paint on there. The insides are less than half done, but hopefully little hands will not go in there.
My bedroom is clean. The bags are packed, but I need to do a checksheet. And I need to make mac's bed and change the sheets on mine.
27 hours until departure.
I know telling you not to freak out is pointless, but
a) YAY!!!!
b) Try to sleep and eat in that 27 hours, okay, and
c) WOOHOO!!
At least eat and be sure you can sleep on the flight.
Also? YAY!
Wheeee!!! Let me know if you need anything last-minute.
Note to producers of TAR:
STOP matching the nonelims with the yields already!!! Why even HAVE the yield if there's no risk of being eliminated because of it?
That said,
I'm glad the blondes stayed in, because except for this leg, they've been consistently the best racers in the pack. All the other teams with their "I hate the way the barbies play this game! Let's use them for information and follow them around!" can bite me.
Msbelle, what are the fixtures made of that you're stripping?
Also, YAY.
TAR: The best thing about this season has been the reversals of fortune that have happened more often than I remember from other seasons. And there was a certain karmic symetry to the blondes coming is last and the bamas who came in second in spite of the yield.
