It started out as a wonderful day. Brandon is working from home today, I have a great list of stuff to do, I am feeling ready for the day, and the Bonnie Hunt Show had Richard Simmons as it’s first guest, so I had a great laugh to start the day.
Then…
The apartment building is doing an inspection of each unit today and we aren’t supposed to store things in our furnace closet. I made note of this and this morning I made sure I took the roasting pan out of that closet (there is only so much space and that is the only good spot for the pan!). I opened the closet up and took the roasting pan, in its box, out of the closet. It was dark in the closet, but I thought I saw something on the floor. I set the pan in our bedroom out of the way and went back to the closet to inspect the “thing” on the floor.
“AHHHHHH” it was a MOUSE!! “BLECH!”
It was dead, thankfully, but it still is making me shiver! Thankfully, Brandon chose this day to be home. He cleaned it up and will be telling the inspectors when they get here.
I have to walk by this closet to get to the bathroom, bedroom, and laundry room…I really wish I didn’t have to!
I will be brave!! I will put on my shoes and have a bat in hand ready to face whatever else might come out of the furnace closet!
Or, more accurately, I will hurry past the closet when I have to go by it, and I will keep my eyes on the floor and my voice ready to scream should another “friend” decide to make a visit.
