THE LITTLE SHIT DOODIED IN A FRESHLY CLEANED DRAWER OVER LUNCH. I set out the tempting bait of peanut butter and all of a sudden this mouse joins the League of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Apparently Voids are exempt from labor during Halloween months. I read the fine print.

Mousemageddon Day 3: no overnight doodies on the kitchen island or counters. Traps remain loaded. Is it possible my super deep cleaning and spritzing our mint-lavender-vinegar infusion everywhere has made the kitchen inhospitable? Maybe. Do in think the incursion is over? Oh no, my Precious.

Mousemageddon Day 2: the little effer has found the traps based on evidence (aka doodie), but has not yet set them off. Soon. Soon.

She didn't actively hunt her first mouse until she was 18! Of course this happened when my mom was cat sitting and I never saw it.

Hello, since Redbubble did me dirty (suspension without explanation while owing me money) let's experiment a little bit! If I've known you long enough not to abuse my work and you want a print/sticker/whatever from me, pay me what you want, I'll give you high resolution files. Try me! #Art #SciArt

Lunch today consisted of throwing all of the dishes towels into the wash and starting to deep clean...although it might as well be derp clean at this stage while the little effer is on the loose.

Me: I swear to Owl I'm 5 minutes away from contracting rodent elimination services out to some vicious house chickens, as the cat is purely decorative at this point. Ash: It seems like I'm in a purrfect position to negotiate for an increase in my Churu payments.

Ash seems to care not that I'm only having coffee for breakfast as said mouse doodied on the butter dish. I may be of rural stock and have 20+ years of field work under my belt, but in town the mice and their entourage are not welcome in my indoor areas.

My incandescent annoyance must be palpable across oceans of time: while we were gone over the weekend a mouse got into the house. Sass Panther Security is, of course, taking this rodent incursion very seriously right now.

I did a 7km dog walk followed by shopping in several stores before noticing that my shirt was on inside out. It was very obviously inside out...well, to everyone but me, apparently.

If the shoe doesn't fit, then that isn't your shoe. Stop trying to wear it and then getting mad at everyone else that you don't think the shoe fits. The more you try to wear the shoe, the more it looks like it was your shoe all along.

Ash would not use his litterbox tonight until which conditions were met? Select all that apply: A. The litterbox was fully cleaned and changed, B. I used the toilet at the same time as a Pee Buddy, C. The Western Pine Seed Bug was removed from the box, D. The faucet was running at the same time.

For those who are blessed by the gods whose cats use the wood pellet litter (no, I don't need advice on transitioning a kitty to different litter, Ash said Hell No in no uncertain terms): Do you use a sifting nested litter box? I've sat for a few kitties who have a traditional box for pellets.

Tried to get Binx in the "right light" to show her Ghost Stripes. Stop laughing! I *did* think I could get a kitten to pause in the right light. Slightly blown out, you can see some of her ghost stripes. Way blown out, dayum! There's a whole ass Tortie under there! Like white "stars"-- #cats

I CAN actually get a decent focus on a jay!! Those eyebrows 😍 🪶
A blue and gray scrub jay is standing on the rim of a feeder with a big in the shell peanut in its beak. Juniper branches are just behind the bird and a blue metal tube fence is inches behind the juniper.

Recharging the batteries and will try again tonight. Top 3 hypotheses of what's triggering the light: 1. That bloody western pine seed bug that landed on me during work yesterday, 2. Spider (because spiders are everywhere for me right now), 3. Funky batteries
