Just around 10 pm last night, I was sound asleep -- well, sound asleep for an old gal! -- when I felt something buzz up against my ear. I shook my head and waved my arms a little bit and rolled over, went back to sleep.
About 10 minutes later, I felt it again, but this time against my face. ACK! I waved my hands, brushed my hands across my face and hair and jumped out of bed! I quickly turned on the lights and saw what it was.... a moth of some sort. It was cream colored and not very big but yuck! Not when I'm sleeping!! I grabbed a pillow and chased it around the room. I must have gotten a good whack on it, because it stopped flying, and I couldn't find it.
At last, back to bed.
But not for long!
I felt it yet again, and this time I jumped up, slapped the light switches ON and grabbed a towel, waving that thing around. I watched this moth try and bury itself behind my pillows, but I was having none of that! More towel waving, arms flailing, trying to swat this thing down. No luck in taking it down, but it DID fly out the bedroom door, so I slammed the door shut, and laid the towel across the bottom so it wouldn't sneak back in!!
I always thought moths were attracted to light, so why wasn't it trying to attack the TV or something? Why did it feel it needed to get cozy with me and my pillows! I don't like critters who don't keep to themselves!!!
Here's hoping for a better night's sleep tonight!!
