fearlesstemp | bloodsucking ferrets

Didn't sleep too well last night. The culprit was a critter who has recently taken up residence in the attic, and who has taken to running around right above my room just as I'm going to sleep. It's really creepy, hearing the scurryscurryscurry of his little feet across my ceiling. I told a friend about how it creeps me out even though I know it's probably just a mouse with a body mass of 3 ounces, and she responded by saying "Or, you know, it could be bloodsucking ferrets." I'm still leaning towards the mousey type thing.

Anyway, couldn't sleep for a while because every time I would just be getting to sleep he would dart across my ceiling again. My first solution was to take the crucifix leaning on my mirror and poke at the ceiling loudly, which did send him off for a bit. I was left feeling a big sacriligeous, though, and lazy, so the next time it happened I just stayed in bed and threw a book at the ceiling. It was not as effective but less costly in terms of energy and eternal damnation (kidding on the second there, I think God understands what a nuisance bloodsucking ferrets can be at two in the morning).

Anyway, the treadmill is calling my name and I'm feeling motivated -- off to exercise!
