I'm pleased to report that this morning, the bathroom mouse didn't actually collide with me on his way behind the sink. Unfortunately, this sighting means the encounter a few weeks ago wasn't just a fluke. (Yes, I realize that hoping he'd just stopped by overnight to get out of the cold and was planning to leave as soon as it warmed up outside was a longshot).

Another rehearsal tonight. I wish I was more confident about this whole thing. It's partly the clash of different parts of my personality--I don't want to be just a newbie, I want to excel and show all these experienced performers with their in-jokes and their BTDT attitudes that I'm bringing something to the table, that I can be funny and free-associative with the best of them. Annnnnnnnd at the same time I want to quietly observe them from the corner. Or better yet, from inside the Faire equivalent of a duck blind. (Which I'm picturing as looking something like a velveteen gazebo. Really tight around the middle.)

Really? I'm planning to use a Have-a-Heart trap, but wasn't sure where to let Mork go...if you'd like him/her/them, just give the word!

mork? :P

i'm very tempted. but then my cat might just eat it.

i could let it go in our backyard though, and maybe it would be far enough from your house that it wouldn't be able to find its way home :) and then i might have a special mousey friend in the gardens this spring.

Do not listen to these insane people. :) Go and get a humane trap and evict your mouse. Because otherwise they will eat all of Toby's food and then start on yours, and I'll let HC tell you about the hantaviruses awaiting you and so forth.

One mouse is startling and entertaining. A colony of mice becomes something you have to talk to your landlord about, which is bad enough, followed by horrible measures to get things under control again.

Get Toby a friend. Get a cat. :)
