The Mouse and the Man

For the last few days I have had a low migraine headache going on so I surely thought that for sure I would be able to get some much needed rest and do some lite work today at home. When I initially woke just after 6am or so to go to the bathroom, I remember thinking how peaceful and quiet it was for the early morning. The street was calm...that's how I knew there was enough snow to blanket the street. Of course I did hear the stupid super/grandson about 15 minutes later shoveling and making a whole lot of noise. You can never enjoy the snow when he's around. Anyway, I went back to sleep and when I awoke, there was a different sound. It was a sound I am not familiar with at all but instinctually knew was that of something else moving in my space. IT WAS A MOUSE! OH MY GOD! I can laugh now but this morning was a completely different story.

Apparently the glue traps that my father had put down behind the fridge about two or three months ago "trapped" it's intended target. A small mouse landed himself right smack in the middle and couldn't get off. Every so often s/he would shriek in a cry for help. As for me, I assumed the standard position....in the middle of my bed curled in fear and disgust as I frantically dialed my father and prayed that this time he would answer his phone! He screens his calls...not really sure why but it's so frustrating. Thank goodness this time he did indeed answer. It seemed like the longest hour and a half of my life listening to some rodent literally ten feet away trying to escape for dear life and making noise. Clearly I don't do well with rodents running amuck. It is in these moments that really make me wish I were married or involved. I know it's such a cliche' however I'm totally going to take the girl route here and leave the mouse fighting to the men. LOL.

Anywho, my dad came over and put the little bastard out of his misery. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww. Just gross! I really hope there are never any more issues like this. Really not my cup of tea. I don't want anything moving in my space unless I invited it in. Ha ha.

So on more upbeat news, I have another date tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I think I may have stumbled upon someone really special but I'm not going to put the cart before the horse so to speak. Take it day by day. I better go. More hopefully tomorrow. More snow on the way for the weekend...how exciting...more snow Angelas? I hope so.
