Fairly on the busy side at work today. Lots of stuff to keep me busy, from web page design to treasure map making–who knew my job would require such a wide range of skills? I’m enjoying it, though. Of course, today’s it’s gorgeous outside, but tomorrow it’s supposed to rain–the one day when I have a chance to go exploring some more here in Maine. Such is life.
And in Mouse Wars:
Things looked good on the home front for the past few days. D-Con and glue traps had wrecked havoc on the rodent horde, decimating their numbers and demoralizing them into submission. But just before I could dress up in a flight suit and stroll across the porch with a big “Mission Accomplished” sign hanging behind me, the mice launched a counter-offensive last night, holding what can only be described as a “Mouse Orgy” in the ceiling above my bedroom. There were scrabblings and scratchings going left and right at 3 in the morning. Of course, this only invoked the wrath of Denisa, a wrath no mammal wants to incur. Even as we speak, she’s preparing for a new attack.
Many mouse families will be crying tonight, and I shall feed on their tears, for they shall be sweet.
