Sleeping with rodents…
Hmmm, you must be saying, interesting title today. Well I’m not talking about the two legged type of vermin, so it’s kinda yucky! You may not know, but I have two cats, Gray cat and Max. Gray cat has been a fixture here for years, I sorta inherited her and she’s grown on me. She sleeps with me most nights if she’s in the house. Max on the other hand, I just got last summer and he can be a bit annoying at times…
Anyway, Gray is a real killer, she kills baby chipmunks, mice, moles, whatever she can get her paws on (or into I should say). And I know it’s because she loves me and all, but I’m not amused to find that the thing on the carpet at the top of the stairs (yes, if the light wasn’t broken I would have seen it right off) isn’t debris of some sort, but a chipmunks head! I almost stepped on the damn thing! And I have to wonder where the rest of it is too. And, as if that’s not bad enough, there’s more. Seems like since she sleeps with me, and I guess thinks my bed is the place to be (hmmm, smart girl, huh?) she has left me “presents” in my bed before. OK, it’s one thing to find a dead mouse on your comforter, but what happened last night, freaked me out. About two in the morning I woke up suddenly, I rolled over and something made me pop up. Hmmm, must have been that dead mole that was under the covers, that my leg brushed against! Eeeewwww!!! And another time I woke in the morning to find a dead mouse all squished, like I had rolled over on it multiple times with my legs as I was asleep. See what I’m getting at? This is weirding me out, like I have to be all paranoid who knows what I’ll wake up with in my bed…
OK, now that I got that out, I’ll catch you up. Not much going on. George came over Monday night and laid the tiles in the bathroom up in the cottage, it came out really nice. Tomorrow night he’s gonna grout them and start laying the tiles in the entry hall and kitchen/dining area. So little by little. I know I wanted to have it done by the end of the month (tomorrow) but the floor situation screwed me up. If I had gotten the pergot floors like I wanted it would prolly be done by now.
So the trees are all starting to bud here, the whole place is coming alive and it looks nice. The no grass at all in the front yard thing is kinda depressing, but I should have grass seed down this weekend as long as it doesn’t rain. Today I went to Home Depot and got two more sheets of wonderboard to finish the underlay for the tiles in the kitchen up there. Grace played hookie and came up, so we just hung out in bed like slugs and half-napped all afternoon and then I cooked up some burgers for dinner. She left to do her Wednesday evening thing and I’m writing this. OK, before it gets dark, I’m heading out to pick up some junk in the yard and put those last two sheets of wonderboard down. Then I have to do laundry and I’m wiped out, so prolly go to sleep early. Nice day- enjoy what’s left of it…
