Walking a baby

This evening I took pezchica & Jim's baby for a walk. Mostly, cause it gave them a little over an hour when they didn't have to worry about baby, someone else did, and because the little one generally tends to sleep while being walked, so it would likely be a low-stress way for me to have the little one. She was, mostly, pretty good, falling asleep after about 1/2 an hour, and sleeping for 1/2 an hour, then she woke up, and get fussier, and cried for the last 5 to 10 minutes of the walk, off and on. The parents enjoyed their time, though. And I figure it was good exercise for me. Depending on next week's schedule, I may do it again. But, rather than wandering the paths in the greenbelt, I should try and test the baby's babe-magnet potential somewhere. I'm not sure where, though.

Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!

My sweetie called! She's ok, and I got to talk to her! And, I'm going to have a date with her on Thursday! In Glencliff, N.H. Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!

I still miss her, but it is so good to finally talk to her! Yay. And, to see her will be double-plus good!

Bat!

I was lieing in bed reading, and I thought I heard an odd noise. I waited, but nothing more. Then a little later, again... sounded like an animal. I stopped, listened, nothing -- maybe it was the wind moving my curtains. Then again. I got up, walked around, turned on more lights, and had a bat suddenly fly by my head. I grabbed a towel, caught the bat, and dumped it outside.

What I really want to know -- how did it get in to my bedroom?

BTW, it chittered, high-pitched, but audible, the whole time I had it wrapped in the towel for carrying outside.
