Distractions from work….
Earlier in the week, I got in my little over a year old SUV and turned on the heater to the overwhelming smell of dog food. Â A little confused as to why my heater smelled like puppy breath I was to find out the next morning when driving my daughter to school….She shreiks from the back seat “THERE’S A MOUSE ON THE FLOOR!” Â Â
Apparently the little critters decided to take up residence in my heater and found a ziplock baggie of puppy food that I left in the glovebox to keep them fed. Â After opening my eyes and looking around, I discovered that there were mouse droppings everywhere! Â How does one miss something as disgusting as that? Â Ugh! Â I was able to get the car in right away to the dealership, who removed a mouse nest from the heater ducts and hopefully got rid of the mouse! Â In the meantime I have little traps set up all over the floorboards, and saying a prayer that the rodents are gone for good.
Now that I got that taken care of, a crazy little kamikaze bird outside my office window is out to get me. Â I’m not sure what is so appealing about my window but he’s been non-stop dive bombing it for the last two days. Â I moved the bird feeder in hopes that he’d go away (I usually love watching the birds outside my window when I’m working on the computer), but to no avail. Â Any suggestions, aside of shooting the darn thing? Â I don’t want to hurt it….I just want it to stop trying to break down my window (as scenes from the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock movie, “The Birds” come to mind).
Doesn’t he just look like he’s out to get me? Â Or am I just being paranoid? Â ;-)
