Glory be I finished blogging -before- the big defining event occurred.
Got up out of bed for last bio-break of the night & realized I’d left my iced tea in the basement so I went to get it and there was a snake at the bottom of the stairs.
Long story short: threw plastic tub over it, weighted down tub and local university biology prof took it away today. I had feared it was a rattlesnake because I didn’t know that milk snakes, like humans and Vulcans, come in several color sets. They have also evolved to mimic rattlesnakes as a protective trait.
I didn’t sleep well and had a broken-up unproductive day as I dealt with the whole thing. But I got through it all - ice cream at dinner helped. Let’s hope tonight’s sleep is better.
Holy cow! Great job on handling the little dude. Scary!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for kind words! Too busy Dealing With It at the time but I sure had a big stress reaction after it was contained. Add this to the list of “times I was REALLY glad to be a non-drinker.”
