sox and mice in bed...

i missed posting yesterday because i was busy finishing up homework...i wrote a paper for my addictions class, plus did my two academic journal entries...i tended to some things around here and then got ready to head out to class...

i got home late from class, and even though i wanted to blog, i really didn't have the energy...

but, a funny thing happened yesterday morning....

my cat, sox, whom i love dearly, decided that she needed to interrupt my precious sleep with some of her own affairs...she does that from time to time, and i generally think nothing of it, becuase usually she just wants one of three things -- to sleep in the bed with me, some attention, or some treats....and of course, she has certain ways she acts for each of these things...i've had her for over ten years, i know her little routines...

well, this was a new game...she was on my bed and she was walking very quickly and she was jumping and meowing in a way that she doesn't usually meow in unless she's trying to catch something...

i sit up in the bed to see what is happening and there's a mouse on the bed....i waited until she caught it in her mouth, moved her to the floor and said "take that stupid thing downstairs..." i then promptly fell back to sleep....

when i woke up for real later on yesterday morning, my mom told me about all the fun she had watching sox chase the mouse...i said "really?...i bet it wasn't as fun as watching her chase it across my bed?.." and we both had a good laugh....

this makes the third mouse in two weeks that we've had...i think it's time to set some traps...

also, yesterday, i had another monarch butterfly hatch...that must have been like, the 75th one this year, i swear...

.....

today, i slept until about 8:00, and spent the day doing not a whole lot of anything, which i really think i needed to do....

i did spend some time watching a thing on tv about plastic surgeries that went horribly wrong...that was actually kind of interesting....

my brother tony came up and spent some time checking out things on my car and says he thinks it's an easy fix, so that's good...

.....

i need to find something else....later this week i plan on applying for sub. teaching at some of the different schools in the area, and then seeing what happens from there...

.....

i guess there's really not too much happening here....

i did have two more monarchs hatch from ones i've had inside...and there was one more chrysalis outside that i have been watching that hatched today as well....

have a great day, everyone...
