there's a bat in my bedroom.

really.
he's sleeping in my curtains right now... i'm just gonna let him snooze for a while...
(holy crap he's so cute.)


8:50am update -- he's still sleeping.
i dressed up in my best bat-gear.


and then i pulled the curtains down.


he didn't flinch.
he's having quite a nap, i guess.

okay -- next step -- i gotta go in there with a broom.

9:30am
Okay -- he's gone. SCHWEW! that was an ordeal. he was shaking, i was shaking. we were both scared and nervous and sad and freaking out. i pushed him with the broom and he slid in between the window panes (the top window and the open bottom window). he was just sitting there shaking like a little leaf and i was so upset i had to leave the room for a minute. i came back in and thought he was gone. he had just moved to the side -- the window casings. ugh. i thought i squished him when i opened the window wider. finally, he flew out. holy bat wings, that was entirely too much commotion for me today. emil and i were all snuggled up in bed and then heard this noise -- we thought he was a bird when he came through at 5:45 this morning, and by 5:50, i was up and out of bed and had the cat locked out of the room and the screen off the window and --- oh, man, i hope he doesn't come back.
