Happy Thursday! I hope that every one is doing well! I have been doing pretty well! Just enjoying the last couple weeks of summer! Right now I am binge watching the Handmaids Tale. I have some mixed feelings! If you have seen it let me know and I would love to talk to about it! haha I am down to like 5 more episodes and then I will be looking for a new series. Any suggestions?
So I was talking to my mom the other day about one of her friends that was having a squirrel problem at her house. Then that conversation led to my mom telling me about the time that a squirrel broke in to her house and electrocuted it’s self and killed it’s self and the fridge. They couldn’t figure out if the smell was the fact that the fridge died so all the food was spoiled or if it was the fried squirrel! haha Then that conversation led to the story of the time Gabbana let an opossum in to my kitchen.
So this happened a few years ago. So let’s just put some days on this to keep things clear so Tuesday night I was talking to a guy that I met online. (That is a good story now that I think of that I will get that one ready for y’alls reading pleasure soon!) So we were up talking late Tuesday night. Like in to the morning. At one point I heard something crash. I live alone so I was not super excited to go check out what was making noise. I just assumed that I had a rat in the garage again. I was like self I will get some rat traps tomorrow and deal with it. So we continue talking and I finally get to bed. I slept most of the day because I was up late and it was summer vacation. So I woke up like early afternoon and had plans so I got up showered and headed out to where ever I was headed. I ended up at Katie’s house for dinner and Lego Harry Potter. I was there till after midnight. I got home and Gabbana was acting super weird. I was like what is your problem? So she awkwardly lured me in to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen I saw a small puddle of pee on the ground and I got so upset. I turned and yelled “Really Gabbana!? You know how to use the doggy door!?” She looked at me and went out the doggy door like you right I do! haha As I turned to walk away to get the mop something moved and caught the corner of my eye.
I slowly turned around to see what caught my eye and there was a creature sitting on the curtain rod staring at me! I freak out and run to the other side of the kitchen and grab my phone and I think who am I going to call?! It is almost 1 AM. So I put my phone down then i pick it back up and I call 911. Yes, I am sorry. To me it was an emergency! So the lady picks up and I say “hello, I don’t know if you are the right people to call and if you aren’t the right people I don’t know who the right people are but there is an opossum in my kitchen!” she asks where I am I tell her Crowley and she transfers me to the nearest police dispatch the lady says hello and I start again. “hello, I don’t know if you are the right people to call and if you aren’t the right people I don’t know who the right people are but there is an opossum in my kitchen!” she was very friendly and dispatched an officer. 2 officers arrived with a reacher claw thing and an animal crate. They had a hard time making it let go of the curtain rod but they finally got it. The good news is that they got it out of my house without pissing it off enough for it to play dead, hiss or send out its smelliness. They were really nice and I am just glad that they took it away! haha

After I was safe from the killer animal I did some Googling. I found out some interesting facts about opossums! Like they help reduce lime disease, they don’t get rabies. The whole thing was a crazy situation, I can only think that it came in the doggy door and then it couldn’t get back out. I couldn’t figure out what to do. That is how I just settled on 911. I am curious, what would you have done?
Well I am going to go watch a few more episodes of the Handmaids tale. I hope that everyone has a great rest of the week!
