.I am Cinderella

Last week Air and I sat down after a long day.

Something caught my eye across the room and we both witnessed a mouse quickly jut out from under a door and then go right back the way he came. The door to our laundry room... ugh

I was freaked out.

But the next day I pretty much made best friends with the little guy when I was home alone during the morning and he popped out from under that door about 10 more times. I was scared at first, but then I realized that he must have felt pretty comfortable with me since he stayed out this time. I watched him go behind our furniture and under our computer desk, and then he just sorta hung out there for a while... about 8 feet away from where I was sitting. No big deal.

I started to think of some positive things about having a mouse around.

-he eats all the spiders

-he eats the bugs

-he eats the crumbs we drop in the kitchen

-maybe he’ll make me a dress for the ball?

But mostly I was just thinking of how soon I could get some mouse traps set up and an exterminator in here to mouse-proof our house.

That evening while I was at work Air was on a mission.

He sent me a text complete with a photo: mission phase one complete

And then this one: mission phase two complete

So there were two mice…. and you know what? I haven’t seen a single spider in this apartment for weeks!

So there’s that.
