Crazy Sunday morning!

So, I got up this morning about 9. It was nice to sleep in. I came out and was sitting on the couch when I heard this weird scratching noise. I could see Thor, so I knew it wasn't him. I looked to the left, into the little bedroom, and nearly had a heart attack! Climbing up the edge of the door was a squirrel! Holy @#$%! And, I couldn't even shut the door because the squirrel was on it!

I got Thor and myself into my bedroom, but realized my cell phone was in the living room -- and I couldn't remember any numbers! So, I bravely ran out of my room, grabbed the cell phone, and ran outside. I tried to call my landlord, but had to leave a message on his cell. Then I tried his wife, but had to leave a message there, too. So, I called my mom. She wanted me to go into the bedroom and open the window! Apparently, she missed the part where there was a live squirrel in the room!

I realized that I needed to shut the bedroom door to keep it contained, at least. When I came back inside, the squirrel was no longer on the door. I could see it in the crack of the door near the hinges, though -- sitting on my sweatshirts! It was just a baby, and obviously as terrified as I was. That thought didn't really stop me from hyperventilating a bit, though.

My landlady called back and sent her son over. He went in the room, opened the window, and the little guy made it out safely. Hooray!

I have no idea how the squirrel got in, but am glad it's gone. I think it was in the house for a day or two, also. When I got home from EC, I noticed that some stuff had been knocked off of some pretty high places -- places that Thor usually doesn't go. Like the top of the fridge, the shelf above the toilet, or the top of the entertainment center. I figured he'd just been a bit wild. I didn't yell at him, though. And thank goodness, cuz it was probably the damn squirrel! What a wild Sunday morning.
