Nun Update

Thanks for your great response, everyone.

Well, yet another convent adventure! Last night I asked Sister Sharon how to use the iron in the basement of the convent (to iron my school clothes). She showed me how...seems you actually have to plug it in!

BUT, to plug it in, you have to unplug a little gadget that emits sounds to keep bats away...you can see where this story is going, no doubt! Sister got me hooked up with the iron and went upstairs. About two minutes into my ironing, who should happen to swoop down, nearly upon my head? None other than a BAT!! With the second swoop, I ran up those stairs as fast as lightening (which is highly unusual for me!). I shouted, "There's a bat in the basement! There's a bat in the basement!" Sister retrieved a butterfly net and went about the business of capturing the bat, but we couldn't find it! We took the ironing board upstairs and closed the basement door. Don't bats sleep during the winter? This one wanted to welcome me to my new place, I guess!

Sister left me with a butterfly net in case I encountered our bat-friend again, but I assured her that if I saw him I'd be safely cowering under the desk! She is not afraid of bats, but doesn't like snakes; I promised to take care of capturing a snake if it gets into the convent (please join me in praying that no snakes ever decide to do that!!).

I think I may have to write a book about all of these new adventures!! "Adventures in Nun-Land"...pretty catchy, eh?!

Teaching teenage boys I can handle...but bats, as I mentioned, you can find me under the desk!!
