It’s My Birthday!
And I’ll say a bunch of stuff if I want to!
Even if it took me longer than a day to write it!
This morning when I got up at 4 am to pee, I saw that my mom had sent me her Bitmoji Happy Birthday message just after midnight, and it brought a smile to my face.
Then I happened to look across the bathroom floor to the light gray pajama pants I had taken off before showering the day before. I saw an itty bitty black “spindle shape” (admission: I Googled to get the shape) there. Damnit. I thought. I will add ress that shit in the morning. A couple of weeks ago, I thought I saw a mouse turd in the cabinet under the sink. I didn’t investigate further because I was in the middle of something else. I hadn’t seen any evidence, or further evidence of a mouse anywhere else, so I totally forgot about it until I saw the distinct black shape on my pajama pants.
I went back to bed and was up off and on until around 7:30 am when I decided to just get up and face the day. As I took my morning cup of coffee out back to have a smoke, I was trying to think about which mouse traps would be best to get: the plastic (easier?) ones, or the regular old mouse traps. I envisioned how many times I would end up snapping my fingers before successfully setting one. Then I thought about the birds and Snoopy, and how I would have to set traps…
