Squirrels in My Attic
As I awoke this morning, praying for the Imp as soon as I was conscious for her first day of school, I heard the pesky squirrels running across my roof. But since I hear those squirrels running from my roof to the fence to the neighbors' roofs all the time, the noise didn't really penetrate into my conscious thoughts, until I realized the pitter-patter of their little feet sounded different. I think those pests have made a nest in the attic, right over my bed! I'm not sure when we'll get someone out to make sure our attic has no free-loaders.
The Imp's face is still a little swollen. If you didn't know her, you wouldn't know. She has a very thin face and this morning she looked like she had a fuller face. She realized this and said..."yea, I don't look inhuman anymore, but I don't look like me either." Fortunately, today is just orientation...an hour and a half with just her grade...basically the deans saying "Behave." Afterwards I'm taking her and her friends out to Village Inn for a breakfast. As her face looks better this morning than yesterday's, I'm sure she'll look even better tomorrow when she actually has to go to all her classes.
