My Night Visitor

Okay so I’m basically just writing this blog for my mom because she’ll understand and it’s sort of funny. Last night I was talking to her on the phone- our 30 minute conversation was the most I had spoken in two days- and I noticed I had something small and fuzzy crawling up my wall. I got excited because I thought I had some cool little friend but it ended up just being a brown and white mouse. Still cool to me however. Well I watched him for awhile- he kept coming and going and climbing on the open boards on the ceiling and then disappearing outside between the roof and walls and then coming back inside in a different place. I got off the phone with my parents and was tired enough to go to bed, so I turned off my light and hoped the mouse wouldn’t have eaten all my food by morning. I ended up falling fast asleep and sleeping for a good few hours but then randomly woke up and was wide awake. Don’t you just hate when that happens? Anyways- there was no storm tonight and so I didn’t have the calming winds and rain to put me back to sleep. Instead I can hear a whole new world coming alive at night. I hear so many different insect and other night animal sounds that of course I start to sort of freak myself out. Then I hear this continuous thumping that starts on the roof across the hut from me and then slowly makes its way over to where I am and down the side of the hut and stops below my bed. I know it was some sort of mammal but I have no idea of what kind. Anyways I finally fall back asleep somehow but get woken up by something jumping on my back. I thought I had dreamed it until it started walking across my body! I pretty much moved as fast as I could to get whatever off of me as quickly as possible. I heard something thud to the floor and then just sort of chill down there and walk around for a bit exploring. I have my empty pack underneath my bed so whatever it was had a fun time exploring it and scratching around. Soooo I finally fell asleep again and was woken up one more time by something crawling up my leg. I again had a tiny freak out as I kicked it off of me. Now I really don’t know what it is- I’m hoping it’s the mouse because that would be the least dangerous and poisonous thing out there, but I really have no idea. So alas- that was my night. No sign of my friend this morning, but I think I’ll pick my clothes off the floor so they don’t get holes chewed in them. Hope you all had a nice sleep and enjoyed my nighttime experience! ☺ Love.
