Attics

I see myself as a pretty ... well ... Hearty woman.  I like to camp, hike and enjoy the rugged outdoors. I love to work on landscaping and cutting my grass ... When I was allowed to!  But there are a few outdoor animals that I do not like.  Spiders, for example.  Now that could be because of a bad childhood experience.  Or the fact that I was teased mercilessly in 5th grade with pictures of spiders when my "friends" found out that I didn't like them.  I think today that could be a form of bullying!

Snakes are another one I don't like ... Or cockroaches ... But fear of the unknown animal is the worst. So as I lay in bed tonight, playing on my iPad and I hear this rustling and scratchy movement above my head, I suddenly had the urge to bail from the bedroom and hit the couch!  The attic entrance is quite literally above my head and I had this fear of some animal falling on my face in the middle of the night!

I have no cleaver or witty life application of unknown fear....probably because it is almost 2 am.  But just the clear, cold fact that I am now sleeping on the couch tonight.  So to the animal lurking above me....I hope you end up as a part of the food chain SOON!
