Scurry Scurry, Shuffle Shuffle, *SNAP* I�m feeling a bit like an evil murdering tyrant at the moment. The past two nights I�ve set up the mouse trap and nothing. It�s like the mouse had completely disappeared, or had gone on holidays or something. But last night I half-heartedly set up the trap assuming of course that I wouldn�t catch anything and that the mouse had disappeared for good. My mice in their cage were out in the kitchen and I settled down for sleep. Okay that�s not completely true. I settled down, wrote a chapter of Claws of a Raven, read a chapter or two of Shelters of Stone and then settled down for sleep. Raj came over to move a few more things in and brought pizza with him! Chicken, avocado, mushrooms and BBQ sauce. I don�t like avocado or mushrooms but I didn�t care I ate it anyway and it was fan-bloody-tastic! And he brought over a four pack of bourbon and colas which I initially refused to join him in. It was a Thursday night. However considering just 15 minutes earlier I�d been at the pub that argument wasn�t going to hold up. So we had a few drinks and then I went to bed and did above mentioned things. I woke up in the morning happy first of all because I didn�t ignore my alarm like I did yesterday and proceeded to gather towels and prepare for showering. Katze was in the shower so I just bided my time. I vaguely remembered hearing the mouse scuttle sometime in the early morning and I was trying to remember if I set the trap or not. I glanced into my room and there in the middle of the floor was the trap with a little furry body sticking out of it. It�s a modern trap (plastic and the clamp comes right down over the head and you can�t see it) and if it was the old fashioned one I don�t think I would have been able to handle it. I felt I should get out a little roll of mice police tape to put around the scene and maybe get some chalk. The poor little thing. I couldn�t bring myself to detach him from the trap so I just put the whole thing in a plastic bag and threw it out. I did mutter a little prayer for him too. The good thing is now that I can go into my room and sleep peacefully without wondering if I�ll wake up with a furry rodent walking all over my face. Sleep tight Tyd 3 January 2003 - 9:34 am |
