The other night I had one of those heart-pounding surprises. I was preparing for bed when I went out to brush my teeth. As I have mentioned before, my bathroom is semi-open air. This means that a range of creatures have found their way in during the 7 months I have been here. From butterflies and ants to cats and rats, I am generally prepared for it. Usually I spy them when I turn on the light.
Like normal, I flipped on the light and gave the bathroom a quick once-over. No creatures to be seen. As I was getting ready to brush my teeth, though, something big shot through the air from the shadowy corner past me. It landed with a heavy thud. I jumped, but to my credit I didn't scream.
A large tree frog had planted itself right next to my sink. After a moment, I gathered my wits and snapped a picture before it jumped six feet to the tree in my bathroom, where it disappeared into the darkness.
I love where I live.

that is a surprise.
Won't miss the cats and rats, but lizards were kind of fun. Only scared me a couple times. Never actually saw a frog inside my place, but sounds like you handled it with ease!
