Quick Update**

My phone is WORKING!!!!
I have a mouse. How do I know? Mouse turds under the sink AND a hole in one of the potatoes which are in a metal mesh container on the kitchen counter. I walked up to the office and told them. I have been back just long enough to drink some water and here comes the man to fix the problem. Apparently the mice are coming in through a tiny hole {which they made bigger} under the stove. He is going to put steel wool in the opening and traps to catch them. I found the turds under the sink so I was assuming that was where the mouse came in. But the guy apparently had dealt with this before so he went straight to the bottom of the stove! He just left {AND told me he had cleaned up the turds!!} and tells me he will be back tomorrow.
My phone is working! My phone is working! My phone is working!
I was going to drive to the office instead of walking but my car wouldn’t start. Apparently I left the door open two days ago which was the last day I used it. My new triple A card arrived yesterday so after I am through here, I will call them. {I can do this because my phone is working…} I need the car to be working so I can go to the ophthalmologist tomorrow…
Jake is coming "around noon-ish" to take me out for lunch. When my phone came back to life, there was a voice mail from the guy at the credit union wanting to see either my lease or a bill to this address. I will ask Jake to take me to the credit Union either before or after lunch.
Have I mentioned my phone is working???

Yikes, mice! I have heard about steel wool working wonders. When I moved into my cabin, I had an absolute infestation. I put cotton balls with liberal amounts of peppermint essential all around where they were running, and in my drawers, on my shelves — everywhere. That and traps seemed to knock them back, but spring is right here, so I bet I’ll have to do it again! ryn: Yes, with a groupof people who also live on my canyon. We try to go every 2 months or so. Fun! I am definitely not the artist in the family. 🙂

Big kitties usually solve the mouse problem… :O But traps are just as good. Glad to hear that you weren’t the one handling the turds. And of course, a working phone is a treasure beyond all measure.

I hope your working phone has YOUR number on it! Still, working is good!

ryn: I’m dreading it with every fiber of my being. It’s getting too close. *Sigh!*

We had mice as a kid and for some reason that never bothered me. They just lived with us and ate food in the cabinets once in awhile. There in the winter…gone in the summer. LOL! I’m glad yours are gone when you want them gone 🙂
