Well, this morning had a little minor excitement. We got up to find a bat sleeping on the ceiling of our downstairs hallway.

It has now been trapped and released. And no, I'm not worried about rabies: the professionals weren't, the cats have had their shots, and everyone was sleeping with bedroom doors closed and saw the bat only when we got up. And it was asleep on the ceiling the whole time.

...I don't even really have a suitable tag for this. And I hopefully don't need one. This should be a fairly unique topic for me, I would hope!

It is Friday the 13th. I am tired. It was not as restful a day as I hoped, though not bad. I therefore respond with the collected gratitudes I posted on Twitter/Facebook from January 1 through today.
