Jeez, what a day it has been. The day really started nearnoon. My mom came home from something and I mentioned to her about the sightings of mice pellets.

You see, there had been a mystery as to what happened to two pairs of pants she had hanging up to dry. Holes had been ripped out of a leg from each. She thought of the dogs, but that was impossible. She blamed the cats, but I doubted. So, Friday, when I was sweeping, I though, okay, that has to be it. Mice were chewing out pieces to make a nest.

So, today, I showed her where I found said pellets. Well, she looks up and there is a huge rat resting up on the drape holder.She could not really tell if it was a rat, or not since it was curled up into a ball. In any case, she was screaming and carrying on. She clutched to me and apparently I was laughing at her reaction.

The apparently comes along because I don’t remember laughing. My brother says otherwise. You see, her screaming and my laughing woke him up. So, my mom hopes he’ll do something about it, because my suggestion of me taking a broom to it did not meet her fancy.

We shooed her outside and went after it. It ran down the wall and we chased it. My mom constantly opened the door and asked if we got it and we kept screaming at her, “no”. Jeez, you’d think she would realize that if we got it, we’d come tell her. Bleh.

It went under my mom’s treadmill, the couch, the hutch and eventually ran to the end hallway where my brother and my rooms are. We hoped it was cornered. No. It went under my door. I cannot say I was too happy.

We searched all over the room and at one point I heard it near my small fridge. We looked. No rat. So, eventually we give up. My brother and I check the bathroom and closet near my room, no sign of it. He meanders off. I start straightening up my room, hoping my movement would spook it. I put furniture back into places and junk.

My cat kept going back to my room, showing curiosity. Yeah, we have cats, but they are so domesticated, they do not seem to know what to do about a rodent other than question what it is. Eventually he kept looking under my bed, so I took a flashlight and checked. I saw nothing even after cleaning stuff out from under it. Then my brother spoke up. I guess my cat caught sight of it. It ran out of my room as did my cat.

We lost it after that. My cat chased it, but they split at a corner, so he lost tail of it. I figure, hey, it is out of my room, so I’m all good. I’m keeping a chair throw at the bottom of the door to block entry of anything.

After that, the three of us went out to eat. I had a headache and my chest was hurting from all the crap from this “morning.” It carried on after when my mom and I went to get my groceries. We also got her a mop bucket on wheels that had a wringer to it. She owes me about forty bucks worth of cleaning supplies since she brought the wrong checkbook.

Anyway, we came back home and did some other things. I still feel like crap and my head still hurts. I will likely lie down after posting this. My mom just now went to church and when she gets back she intends to take me to Belks for some shorts since it is getting really warm out now.
