Raccoon Be Gone

The raccoon has left the building. 

Literally. 

Not the most relaxing day, but things got checked off the to do list:
  • DS 1st non-family babysitting experience - apparently, he exercised his flare for the dramatic a bit
  • Cavity was filled -  but tears of anxiety running down my cheeks for the entire event, but no audible sobs...I had my eyes closed, but I'm pretty sure they were waving nitrous oxide in my face for the first 1/2 of the nightmare even though I requested not to have any
  • Grocery shopping complete - and got to witness a shoplifter getting justice served
  • RACOON WAS EVICTED
Yes.  Exciting day.   Our landlord bustled in after the 1st crazy part of the day, and headed straight for the furnace room.  After 5 minutes of banging around down there I heard, "Oh my!  There you are!!"  followed by a "I found him!" and then "Come and look at him, he's so cute!!!"

I didn't really care to look, but I went in, baby-on-the-hip-and-all and sure enough...that little booger had been LIVING in the furnace room...he even made a bed for himself in the corner of waded up painter's drop cloths.  If the idea of him residing next door to our DS wasn't so disgusting, the scene might have made for a cute children's story...but still...it smells...bad...like the monkey cage. 

Landlord saw the bags of clothing lining our basement hallway and showed a lot of concern for the idea of bed bugs. I am thankful we have someone who will take a proactive approach if we are in the positive on this notion...still waiting for confirmation from Public Health on my 3 sample jars.  Received email confirming my inquiry email was received. 

I'm exhausted. 

Sleep tight. Don't let th.....

Never mind...at this point, if they do, I won't notice anyway.
