Tuesday MA: Lots and lots of kick work! I thought that I would be a hurtin' pup today between a heavy leg day and 30 minutes of kick work. Especially since Eric wanted my kicks full out since my aim is good. Tomorrow might prove to be a different matter though!
So...let's file this one under the "only Hawk..." category in life...
Around quarter of four this morning I hear a little 'squeek' and felt something small and furry land on my arm in bed...
I 'squeeked' a bit myself and flung my arm up to hear the little furry body hit the wall and give another little 'squeek'. I turned on my reading lamp and look down expecting to see a mouse scramblin' for cover...to find a little bat looking very confused and disoriented.
So...I laid there on my stomach for a few moments pondering what to do about the little bat. I remembered an empty plastic container I keep on my self that I store my 'trail food' in during my backpacking season. So I jumped out of bed hoping that little batty stayed and grabbed the container.
Laying back on my stomach across my bed I checked and the bat had only crawled a foot or so away from the wall I knocked him into. So I dropped the container over him and slid the lid under it as far as it would go without mowing the little guy into the side of the container.
I had to wait a couple minute for little batty boy to crawl on to the lid so I could slide the container bottom the rest of the way over the lid. I now had myself a live little bat.
So what the hellz was I going to do with him? So I padded quietly up to the main floor trying to keep the dogs and cats from catching wind of my mission. I made it past all my sleeping critters to the atrium door. Of course you would know it had to snow last night...so there I am in my jammies and barefoot on my back deck with a little bat in a container.
And you just know the container lid didn't want to slide off, so I'm out in the snow trying to open the container and not have little bat boy fly up into my face, hair or jammies...
I did manage to get the container apart and watched as little bat boy crawled under the deck railing. I have no idea where he went to afterwards. I went back to bed...of course I couldn't sleep afterwards. I kept glaring up at my ceiling wondering if there are more bats hanging around in my house.
So...that was my excitement for the night...
