Day three:
After two stare downs with a squirrel that had invaded my house and two miss opportunities to catch the little beast day three had arrived.
It stared at me from the kitchen counter frozen in it's evil fluffy pose. The little thief had bitten into a banana and tore a sunder a box of chocolate stripped cookies.
I know it's been getting into the house through the chimney so I barricaded his escape. With a wooden dowel in hand I took a swing at it. Missed! that thing is was quiiiick! Under the sofa it ran. After two days of cleaning suit soaked counters with sprinkles of little squirrel droplets I was all out of nice.

...To be continued.

Got my close family issues that need to be worked out. Nothing directly involving me, but definitely affecting my sanity currently.

Absolutely, sorry for the delay it was quite the day. Come to think of it, it's been quite the month really. Of course not all of it was action packed or squirrel related.

Returning to my day.

The squirrel creature now safe from my strike, I in a the oh so rediculious kendo high stance. We where at a stand off. I begin to feel that I was at a disadvantage. I already knew I could not match it's speed. It was morning and I realized I hadn't eaten and he had a belly full of delicious cookies.

I had time restraints. My two year old son will be coming home with in half an hour accompanied by my mother in law. They wouldn't be much help in fact I didn't want them in harms way. Most people I know where either working or just too far a way to do me any good. (if this seems odd that I'm just waking up it's because I work nights my morning is sadly 4:30pm.)

I look from my grounded position for my cell phone. It's still on the counter! I slowly creep my way toward the counter. The small distance between feels like monuments feat. Just as I attempt this the beasty scurries for my haphazard blockade. OH S! Those things can fit through any hole the size of what a half dollar? This one has already proven it's tenacity. I swing around, in that moment it had already darted through some of the random piling of future and children toys.

I swung the dowel as quick as I could letting out a ,(let's just call it a tribal yell because honestly any kind of description just sounds ridiculous anyway). This certainly was a last ditch effort if I didn't hit it there was no way I would be able to fish through that mess quick enough to catch it.
My crude weapon shattered in three places upon impact but evidently put enough fear into the rodent to cause it to come rampaging out of the mess colliding into my ankle.

Bare foot and with nothing but shorts and a tee shirt on this fuzzy collision caused me quite a stir. Should this thing go from scared little critter to battle mode I recognized now I was more then a little exposed. In moments it was back under the couch. I took this time to vent my momentary freak out by throwing the piece of busted wood I was left holding in his direction.

The stand off continued but I needed that phone and a new weapon....

Weapon was first on the list! With luck my love seat which I had tuned over decreasing the squirrels hiding options was quite near the sliding glass door. This allowed me to grab yet another wooden dowel. I believe the first used to go in the kitchen window. (My anti burglar equipment is a wee bit out dated *sigh*) This one was a lot sturdier then the other.

I gave a few good wacks at the floor to let the evil ball of fluff I'm still ready for him. This at least in my mind help intimidate it while I made a quick dash to the counter top for the cell phone. From there it was just a matter of scaring it every time it popped it's head out which was fairly common for a stand of with ( I'm believe based off of my new found experience with a squirrel).

It's weird moments like this that really make you reevaluate how useful some of the people you have in your contacts list really are. After much deliberation on who to call I decided ( though he lived around 25 minutes away) the only one I could truly count on is still dear old dad. I made the call and got his voice mail, *piff* figures. I waited...and waited. I didn't want my hands full for too long while I had a foe to do battle with.

For some odd reason I heard a door open in side the house. What the hell I thought. I was very certain my friend (who had moved in due to some sad turn of events in his life) said he would be out of the house at 3:00pm. So, I didn't think I would see him today. I was elated to find out he had over slept and wouldn't have time to do errands he had planned to do before work. His help was quickly obtained. Now it was two bro's vs. Squirrel. Sounds awesome when you think he is a 6'5 315 pound guy and I'm 6'0 210. However on our first tango with said squirrel our combined 525 pounds of rodent catching power ended with an escaped squirrel. That and a hilarious memory of a giant of a man letting out a high pitch squeal when the squirrel darted off the counter towards him to escape.
My friend brought with him companionship, a metal flash light and a wooden baseball bat. All things that where greatly appreciated after this stand off which had been going off for a hour tell this moment. We start moving various other times from around the couch hoping to achieve a better battle field. We needed all the benefits we could get. I did finally get that long awaited phone call back from the old man. I let him in on the situation after a discussion of live traps, butter-fly nets and alike we finally decided the best solution was heavy artillery, yah, bb gun. The squirrels day was about to get a whole lot worse. Shouldn't have messed with my cookies.

...I shall regal my day further at another time. I do hope you are enjoying the retelling of one of my more exciting mornings.
