Remember this post? Well, the story continues:
I think they thought they were rid of me, but I've been here all along. There's not much food here, but it's warm. I wander around the house looking for food: spiders, insects, whatever I can find. I find a cozy place to sleep . . . and hide.
The other night I found a very warm, soft- oh so soft-green blanket to curl up in. I was sound asleep when all of a sudden the blanket was moving and shaking and I found myself plopped on the floor! I was disoriented and not sure where I was. I saw shelter across the way, under a blanket storage chest. I headed that way. Before I could duck under for cover I looked up and saw that Amazon Woman! You remember that one who crushed me in her bare hands. There she was again, looming over me. I hurried and scurried under the chest. I stayed for a few minutes, but feeling like I would like more shelter, I came out, headed for under the couch. Suddenly a book came out of the sky and crashed down on me. The Amazon Woman was out to get me! Oh baby, this is WAR! Stunned, but not entirely incapacitated, I scurried under the couch where I knew she couldn't come and nursed my wounds. I stayed for quite some time. When the room got dark, I came out, searching for a better place to hide. I knew the woman's husband would look for me under there when it got light. Where could I go? A shoe. One of her shoes would be a good place to hide. Then when she slides her foot in I could lift my tale and give her a good sting. Or, I know, I could hide under that throw rug in the living room. Her foot is often near it when she is in her living room chair. I could come out and sting her good, then scurry back under the rug. Honestly, though, I think the best place is in her bed, where I first went. It is soft and warm for me and an excellent place to wait to attack. When she is sound asleep, I could stretch out and swing my tail and get her good. This isn't over.
We are in a battle here, folks, and I intend to win! I'll keep you posted.
