Late afternoon in Wisconsin...
Hello to all. It should come as no surprise that as I type CaseyAnne is on her way to the doctor. What a bunch of crap. I just want to scream. She had a dentist appointment earlier. Some work that she'd had done last month was giving her problems. (I am sure that to the rest of us that would fall under "toothache" but since she has real pain elsewhere it was more of an 'annoyance' to her). The dentist evened that 'bite' out for her in 10 short minutes.
Yada Yada Yada.
Doctors and their guinea pig crap... I will wait to see if I have to go pick her up or not. Her right side is giving her some godawful pain right now...
Her dentist appointment was at 2:30. (Are we the only ones that find that freakin' hysterical)?
Having woken up plenty early this morning, I had plenty to do. Tons of wash that I hadn't finished yesterday so I go to the back entrance and run the washer full of water, adding my detergent and my softener. Back up to the bathroom and rip apart the hamper to sort the dirty clothes into my 3 little piles. Wanting to be able to get dressed at some point today I figure to wash the jeans load first.
I come back here to check my email and to read a few blogs. About 45 minutes later, I realize I still hadn't put those jeans in. Whoops. Grab an armful of 'darks' and go back to the laundry center.
And instead of filling the washer with the laundry, I have to jump, bass~ackwards, bang my backside against the freezer, and drop my precious load of laundry in the process...
Regaining my legs, shaking my head a few times, unsure; I venture forth to the washer and peek in.
(Not having had enough caffeine yet at that point, I wasn't sure if my eyes had deceived me or not)...

They hadn't...

I was madder than hell at first, but then to grab the LONG tongs and get the crazy, (and quite dead), little fooker out of there. That of course AFTER I grabbed my camera... hehehe
(I do wonder how long he must have done the breast stroke once he hit that water though)?
In all honesty I would NOT have liked it better had he not perished BEFORE I found him...

Then to clean the machine out. (Ran a very hot bleach rinse through it). Then washed a bleach load; (just in case).
I am not scared of these 'stoopid' micey things. But as always, they do have a tendency to startle me. (4:00 in the AM seems a lovely hour to be startled). Nope. Not appreciated. He was quickly relocated to the dumpster.
And then I had to scrub my floors and such... Again, these creatures do not make me feel frightened. But kinda dirty creatures to be having the run of the house in my opinion anyway... Yeah, I KNOW some of you have them for pets.
And I knew with that early freeze we had, that I would be seeing these furballs sooner rather than later... But it always surprises me when I do see them too.
I wish I could put poison out, but then the dogs would not be happy should they venture into it somehow.
I have heard of the electronic soundwave gadgets that repel all sorts of nefarious creatures from a house. Do any of you have any experience using those things? They say the sound waves are such not to bother house pets. ie: dogs, and such.
Or maybe I should just get a new Amos? I do miss that kitty; especially NOW, (even though he would catch all the critters and bring them to me if he wasn't too hungry at that point).
Daylight is becoming a premium nowadays, and I shall keep this short(er) for today...
Hope you are all having a NON~"MOW~ISS" kind of day!
*** Click on MOW~ISS if you do not yet know how my big sister lost her mind... and scroll down to the blue type... I know many of you are new to my blog and might not yet have had the opportunity to cry along with the elder... It is a TRUE story.
XOXO
Anne
