I'm in Tahoe visiting my friend for the holidays. Last night I slept on the couch because it's better for my back (trust me) and about midnight I was woken up by something. I feel back asleep but an hour later was woken up again and this time I lay there listening to SOMETHING moving round either in the tree or in the presents underneath. I did the logical middle-of-the-night thing and bolted the hell upstairs, but now I'm down here sitting in the farthest chair from the tree waiting for something to happen. I have also been the first person awake (by many hours) for the past five mornings and I've come down and worked on the computer on that same couch in the pre-dawn hours and not heard anything. The only things I can think of are that it either came with the tree or yesterday when my friend's parents were putting her gift (a grill) together on the back deck the thing came in when the door (which is right by the tree) was open. Is this at all feasible? Am I crazy. WHAT could it be? A mouse? (Please say yes, just A MOUSE!) Could the tree just be acclimating to being inside (temperature, humidity, that sort of thing? but it's been in the same spot inside for four days now?)?
