Bump in the night

Last night, I was JUST drifting off to sleep (pseudo-dreaming that I had gold leaf on my hair) when I heard a thump. And then a bump. And then lots more thumps and bumps. I think there was a raccoon either in the attic or on the roof. Luckily, our friend Andy showed up, just as I was discussing the thumps with mom-in-law. Andy wasted no time getting up into the attic, but didn't see any signs of life up there, thank goodness. There's a big hole on one side (a man-made hole) that he couldn't see all the way into, but like I said, no visible signs of life. Dr. Spooner at Acadia taught us that "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", so I'll keep listening and if I hear anything else I'll get a trap.

I checked the ship tracking site this morning, and Sea Fox is now at the work site, and was anchored for a bit this morning. They seem to be underway again. He emailed me some pretty nice "scenery" photos, and I can't wait to get more!

One of the best parts of my day today was when I realized that Monday is a holiday. YES. Also, it's Sea Fox's birthday that day, so although he's not home to celebrate, we'll be wishing he was.

This evening, Little Fox and I had a nachos-and-a-movie night. Really, I just baked some cut-up tortillas with cheese, tomato and green pepper on top. Little Fox helped me put the toppings on, and then he got the movie ready (we watched the Smurfs). I poured some apple juice into some fancy wine glasses just for fun, and when the nachos were ready we cheers-ed and settled in for dinner and entertainment.

 Mine is apple juice too... unfortunately! haha

After the movie, we read some books, emailed Daddy, and then he went to bed. I went for a run, talked to my dad on the phone, and now here I am blogging and watching the track-plot update. Here's to a thump-less night!
