That’s probably because there aren’t any here to terrify and torment me.\u00a0 Reason #5 why I sleep better in Spain.<\/p>\n

Just have to share this…yesterday, my friend Leanne commented about how the squirrels that surround my treehouse apartment in the Bronx are probably partying it up big time while I’m gone.\u00a0 And then our friend Alana, wrote this:<\/p>\n

hahaha the squirrels! the squirrels! I wish I could read their blog…. “Day 4: The man-footed woman has been gone for some time now. We ventured into the forbidden sector in search of food but everything was in tall bottles topped with corks. Strange. The bathroom is guarded by an army of ducks. They would not respond to our attempts at friendly communication. Tomorrow we return armed.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh Alana, that is one hilarious scenario, I cannot stop laughing!\u00a0 And I wish I could draw the comic strip you have created in my head!\u00a0 You know, this is exactly how I imagine that shit goes down.\u00a0 (And my rubber ducks definitely appreciate the shout out!)<\/em><\/p>\n

For anyone who has not had the delight and pleasure of waking up in my apartment OR has not heard any of my crazy-but-true, squirrelphobic theories about what goes on in my walls and air-conditioner, there is a Bronx menagerie plotting to ultimately get in and take over the attic.\u00a0 First it was the bees, then the squirrels, then the carcass flies, then the birds and now I think it’s a rare, hybrid bird-squirrel-bee.<\/p>\n

\"Birsquirbeeus<\/a>

Birsquirbeeus loudus<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s just a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Both Alana and Leanne have firsthand experience with the impending squirrel invasion, so they know I’m not crazy.\u00a0 Well, not that crazy.\u00a0 And my friend Amelia was there when a kind of big bird just flew through my apartment from lord knows where.\u00a0 My friend Tony saw a squirrel sitting right outside my homemade screen door-window, so he knows I’m not nuts.\u00a0 My nephew witnessed the attack of the carcass flies, where I single-manhandedly killed hundreds of them…take that brave little tailor!\u00a0 And my most recent guests, the Martins, were probably the first to hear the bird-squirrel-bee, the birsquirbeeus loudus, <\/em>in full force.<\/p>\n

Who I am now convinced are responsible for the recent destruction of my brilliant pillow blockade.<\/p>\n

It really is just a matter of time.<\/p>\n
