Bat...or Butterfly?

So, this morning I had a panicky moment when I was in my bathroom, getting ready for the day. All of a sudden something dark flew above my head, and all I saw was this shadow as it passed by the light. And then I saw it land in the dark corners of my shower. All I could see was that it was black, and had large wings!!!! Not wanting to stir the wild beast now resting in my shower, I quietly left the bathroom, making sure to close the door behind me. Jen went to get Luis, our maintenance man to help me out with what I was ALMOST positive was a BAT!!!

Luis cautiously opened the door, and breathed a sigh of relief as he told me it was just a butterfly. I had to laugh at that one! But just so you all know, it WAS large, and it WAS black!! But, it was also quite beautiful.

So, the next task was trying to get the butterfly out, and Luis assured me that killing it with insecticide was the only way. I felt a wee bit bad, but willingly got the insecticide to help him out. In the end, the butterfly made it's way out the window, and flew off to safety.

Luis tells me that the superstition here is that if a butterfly flies into your house it can mean one of 3 things: 1. Someone has died; 2. Someone will come for a visit; 3. You will receive news. I asked whether it would be good or bad news, and he told me it depends on the news you receive! Haha! Gotta love the circular thinking. And personally, I'm placing all my hopes on #2!!
