I'm a bad person. [>_<]
Let me explain: two nights ago I found out I had a mouse. I found his nest in the corner of my closet behind my luggage. He had a huge pile of popcorn! I left a store bought bag of popcorn on the floor a few nights ago, but there weren't any chew holes in it. This little magician knows how to open bags.
So as I'm vacuuming up his mess, he sprints out and dashes across the room, running over my girlfriend and into the other corner behind a blanket. Too focused to laugh, I open the door, grab a futon and use it to make a corral out the door. I pull everything out of the corner...and he's gone! So we spend the next 20mins putting everything up on the table or outside the room, careful to not let him escape. No luck; he's disappeared. There's no mouseholes to be found anywhere, and there's not a lot of places to look in a 1 room apartment...
Last night I bought some "mousetraps": glue pads you put food on. I wanted to catch him alive instead of poisoning him so I wouldn't have to deal with a rotting carcass later. While I'm sleeping, I hear him scamper across the room (I'm usually a heavy sleeper; I must have been subconsciously attuned). I wait a second to make sure he's in the closet again and jump up to get him. I then spend the next 30minutes putting everything up off the floor and creating a corral out the door, a lot more difficult this time since I was alone and he was opposite the door. Again, no mouse. He's a little Houdini.
I didn't sleep every well, and this morning I WAY overslept. I had already missed my first class by the time I called the school, and would have missed my second by the time I got there. I told them I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't come in.
This is only the 3rd day in my life I've called in sick for work, and I've never been sick when I have. I'm a bad person because I abandoned other people to cover for me without any sort of prior notice. That's just shit.
I hate it when other people do it me, so I don't want to do it to others. Also, I hate lying, and I'm going to have to lie tomorrow to explain why I didn't show up for work. I'm going to say I had a terrible headache and didn't sleep, which is a half-truth. But I still could have got my lazy ass out of bed, and it doesn't make up for forcing other people to cover for me.
Fuck the mouse. He's getting poisoned.

did the mouse appear after all? we had a rat in our house, a huge rat momma with all her babies. It was so scary! she was in our backyard, we called my uncle because he was the only guy in our family, but after all, the lady next door killed the rat with a broom!.
