Not a good evening, all in all.
heard some bad news.
Was trying to figure out a response.
then I saw it. little dark mousie... running across my living room, only 3 feet away.
of course I screamed. I'm terrified of "creatures".
After establishing that I was not going to have a panic attack, I ran to my bed, and read the LLBEAN catalog until I realized that I would have to emerge at some point to empty my bladder. I stomped to the bathroom, and managed to pee without my feet touching the floor.
after another hour, I needed food (I was afraid the mousie might feel like dining at the exact same time)
I had husband on the phone with me, as he heard me squeeling and stomping to the kitchen, grabbing 2 protein bars and a glass of H2O and back to the room.
getting pretty agitated. found the flashlight. managed to summon the courage to grab my laptop and hook up the 25 foot internet cord.
Safe *whew* in my bed now. I'm an exile.
tomorrow I'm going to the hardware store to get steel wool to plug the little gap- I know which one, I think. And traps. I'm so sorry, but I cannot have "creatures" in my home.
((((mousie))))
:O!
