I do not like
snakes, most especially the one I
found in my
house last
night on my way to
bed. Well,
found if the
definition of found is "Almost stepped on". Being in the
desert, of course it had to be a
rattlesnake(noisy sucker). If it hadn't been.. well, I don't want to think about that, I'm still really
jumpy. And, of course, my first
instinct was to go
online and a) ask
friends how THEY get rid of these things and b) look for
webpages on the subject.. however, knowing the
snake was within a few feet made me stop and get out of there.
So. Yeah. Didn't
sleep there last night. And was really
shaky for a while, and made the mistake of waking up a
friend (I'm really sorry!) to try to calm down. I finally fell
asleep around 4, then had to get up and come to
work. Ugh. However... there was a
funny point this
morning..
My
best friend, in her
pajamas, walking around my
house, banging on things with a roll of wrapping paper,
singing "Here snakey snakey.. " hehe. Almost (but not really) worth it. Too bad I didn't have a
camera. Now, to get some
work done... Oh, and if anyone has
rattlesnake elimination advice.. I'd love to hear it.
