I am, obviously, way behind in reading LJ. Apologies for this blast from the past. I well remember the time when my husband and I were awakened by the alarm going off, only to find a bat circling the dining room chandelier.

My Ex ran upstairs (which amused me at the time.) I bravely opened doors to the outside so the bat could leave. To this day I've no idea how it got into the house, cause we didn't have open windows.

Y'know, maybe they came down the chimney?
