OMG BGA of the night....last night that is....!!!

I hate f'ing mice! I didn't mind them so much before, meaning the fact that the exterminator was coming thursday and not today wasn't that big of a deal. They are more scared of me than I am of them. Which is the truth, because I'm not a scream and jump on a chair type of gal. If they are scurrying about, its probably to get the hell out of the way of me, big huge person that can smash them. I was awakened at 12:15 AM by a scream, a phone call and my door opening and my roommate flipping out. Apparently, even though she's been putting towels under her door, a mouse was in her room and had scurried into the closet. Reluctantly I get out of bed, meaning after I curse some and take my time. She's totally freaked out in her bedroom staring at her closet, and on the phone with her mom.

"Can I please just come and sleep there tonight!" She pleads with her mom as she cautiously surveys the room. Of course her mom says NO! She hangs up in a hurry and we try to formulate a plan, meaning I try to formulate a plan. Honestly though, what the hell am I suppose to do? I've got the broom and a colander from the kitchen, so that I can catch it when it runs out. That was all I could think to do at this point. My plan was seriously flawed.




A.) I had no idea what to do with the mouse if in fact I did manage to trap it under the colander.
B.) I had no idea how to coax it out of the closet! (Despite "Ted", our name for the little fellow, being one of the biggest BGAs ever!)
C.) I had no idea if this plan would even work.


The plan didn't work. Though I did get Ted to peek out a couple times, he always ran back inside the closet. It was useless. I tried offering suggestions to my roommate, but she wanted it out of her closet/room. She said that it was in her shoes and that she would get diseases from it pooping in her shoes and then her wearing them. As humorous of idea as that was, I could not convince her otherwise. All I could convince her to do, was to come and sleep in my room, promising that I'd put towels under my doors as well.

So I got back in bed around 1:30, who knows when I actually fell asleep though, but unfortunately my alarm wouldn't let me sleep in and buzzed in my ear at 5:30 for me to start my wonderful day. Damn you mouse!! I'm so tired right now....coffee...COFFEE.....COFFEE!!!!
