The rodent saga continues…

Aug 13, 2008 | Tags:

Last night, I noticed a funky smell in my room, but dismissed it.  No, I wasn’t farting.  This morning, I realized the odor was still lingering in the air, which I dismissed again.  A bit later, I went to a part of my room where I keep papers to retrieve some information to take to my appointment.  As I was gathering the papers together, I noticed that the mouse trap that I had planted after the first rodent sighting was in a different position! I was all, WTF, that’s not right. Then, I noticed a long “string” coming out of the trap. There was a FREAKING MOUSE IN IT!!!!  I panicked and got on my iPhone (yes, I joined the iPhone cult!) to start emailing people about what to do with it! No way was I going to touch the darn thing!  I ran downstairs to get the front desk to get maintenance up in the apartment to dispose the mouse. Yes, I’m a sissy, who cares? Anyway, at least a little, stubborn bugger has been caught, finally!

    Sarah, you’re cute! It’s just a mouse, it’ll not bite back. Use your hand, cup it, shell it, then let it go outside THEN wash your hands. If it’s dead, get a plastic bag (small one), pick it up like you would pick up your dog’s poop and bury it, pray for forgiveness and wish the poor dead mouse a heaven full of cheeeeeeese!!!!
