AHA!

• a hearty thunk on window glass before i open them
• check the ceiling, walls, and surfaces of every room i enter (especially exact places i've seen them before)
• check there's not a bat in the corner of our living room, because i've dreamt there was one twice
• ensure that the tape on our bathroom cabinet is still sealed, even though we foamed up the tiny gap inside the bottom
• if that's a: dust speck, crumb, strange shadow, a spice (i hope), thread brushing against my skin
• near flowers, bushes and trees, looking wildly everywhere, every second
• pause and replay sections of video because i could swear i heard something buzzing past my head
• pet my cat lighter than she likes, just in case
• quit making this list because i think i'm hallucinating now
• run to the bathroom mirror to make sure there's nothing in my hair
• running my finger around and across the cups of our headphones, just in case
• scrutinizing with my flashlight into uncovered cups of juice
• sifting through grains, rice, cereal, just to make sure
• squinting and stalking forward, unsure if that's just part of the carpet
• tap out / send a flashlight down a pair of shoes before i put them on
• tear my hair up into a bun to keep it off my neck
• turning the clear sugar container around in my hands before i make coffee
• wield aerosol sprays and swiffer mops and flying shoes
