The day really started nearnoon. My mom came home from something and I mentioned to her about the sightings of mice pellets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The apparently comes along because I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember laughing. My brother says otherwise. You see, her screaming and my laughing woke him up. So, my mom hopes he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do something about it, because my suggestion of me taking a broom to it did not meet her fancy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153no\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Jeez, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d think she would realize that if we got it, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d come tell her. Bleh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It went under my mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m all good. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m keeping a chair throw at the bottom of the door to block entry of anything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153morning.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">(Did this around four to six this morning&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>LAYER ONE: THE OUTSIDE<br \/>\nName: Nyxity.<br \/>\nBirthday: A day in December.<br \/>\nCurrent Location: Internet.<br \/>\nEye Color: Brown.<br \/>\nHair Color: Black.<br \/>\nRighty or Lefty: Left.<br \/>\nZodiac Sign: Sagittarius.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE<br \/>\nYour fears: Screwing myself over royally.<br \/>\nYour perfect pizza: Thin crust, cheese.<br \/>\nGoal for future: I am not ambitious.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER THREE:<br \/>\nYour thoughts first waking up: &#8220;Is it night or morning?&#8221;<br \/>\nYour best physical feature: Hands.<br \/>\nYour bedtime: When able to.<br \/>\nYour most missed memory: No idea.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER FOUR:<br \/>\nPepsi or Coke: Diet coke.<br \/>\nMcDonald&#8217;s or Burger King: Wendy&#8217;s.<br \/>\nSingle or group dates: No date.<br \/>\nAdidas or Nike: No tennis shoes.<br \/>\nLipton tea or Nestea: Water.<br \/>\nChocolate or vanilla: Vanilla.<br \/>\nCappuccino or coffee: Just no.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER FIVE: DO YOU?<br \/>\nLie: Everyone does some point.<br \/>\nTake a shower: Every day.<br \/>\nBelieve in yourself: Uh&#8230; doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER SIX: EVER?<br \/>\nBeen on stage: Yeah.<br \/>\nGone skating: Took to it like a duck on water.<br \/>\nDyed your hair: Highlighted it once.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER SEVEN: RANDOM<br \/>\nGotten beaten up: Emotionally.<br \/>\nChanged who you were to fit in: &#8216;Would not know how to.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER EIGHT: AGE<br \/>\nAre you old: Depends.<br \/>\nWhat did you do for your last birthday: I lack memory.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER NINE: IN A BOY OR GIRL<br \/>\nBest eye color: Hazel or brown.<br \/>\nBest hair color: Brown or black.<br \/>\nClothing style: &#8216;Lack knowledge of fashion.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER TEN: WHAT WERE YOU DOING<br \/>\n1 minute ago: Finished eating.<br \/>\n1 hour ago: Passed out.<br \/>\n1 year ago: Probably passed out from moving here.<\/p>\n<p>LAYER ELEVEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE<br \/>\nI love: &#8230;<br \/>\nI feel: not too great.<br \/>\nI hide: mentally.<br \/>\nI miss: little.<br \/>\nI want: &#8230;<br \/>\nI need: to brush my teeth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeez, what a day it has been.
