I was outside at night a few minutes ago getting the ladder, because the screw knob thing on the skylight came off and I wanted to see if it was broken or not, and if I could fix it. It's broken. We're going to try to glue it back together though and see if that works.
Anyway, so when I was outside I saw this big thing that looked like a really fat cat or raccoon on the ground eating something. Turned out to be a raccoon (I'm pretty sure, I wanted to get a look at its face to make sure, but never got to see it). It scampered up a tree that was a few feet away from it. So I got the ladder that I was out there to get and I climbed up in the tree barefoot and in my pajamas and tried to make it look at me so I could see its face, but it just kept climbing higher. So I tried shaking the tree a little and it fell out! I felt so bad. I tried to get to the ground as fast as I could in case it was hurt so I could see which direction it went so I could get it and fix whatever was wrong (if it had broken a leg or something - take it to the vet., etc.), but by the time I got to the ground it was out of site. I guess it was okay if it ran away that fast. I'm pretty sure it was a raccoon, it was pretty big. I just wanted to see it's face to make sure. I feel so stupid and bad. I hope I didn't hurt it. :(
