The Verdict

Okay, here's the news regarding my citation from the forestry division:

I made the call at 8:00am sharp this morning before going to work. I spoke with the man in charge and after he gathered the necessary information from me, he came to the conclusion that they had sent the letter to the wrong address. He apologized for any inconvenience this may have caused me and sent me on my merry little way--That's the good news....

The bad news is that I cut down all of my pompas grass plants in fear of being fined....Oh well. I would've been cutting them down in 3 months anyway. They'll be alright 'cause they're pretty hardy.

As for my "little house guest".......

I honestly couldn't tell you what happened to him/her. I've looked high and low with no luck. I'm assuming that the mouse ate the poisoning and exited the premises. (hopefully) I'm going to leave the de-con food down just in case if he/she comes back or there are more visits from others. I've never had a mouse problem before and I've been living here for about 12 years but there's a first time for everything so, I'll leave them down. I just have to remember not to let Louie (my cat) come downstairs. I'd simply die if he got ahold to that poison. After this winter passes, I'll remove all of the de-con so Louie can roam the house again.--Sorry Lou.....

My day today was pretty nice. I had a short day at work because it's right before the start of the holiday shopping--grocery shopping that is, and I'm off work tomorrow. (from both jobs YIPPEE) So, I'm looking forward to that. Last night, I had a nice conversation with my new friend "g" and afterward, I read chapter seven from a novella written by "P T " and then, I went to bed--although I had the strangest dream. Actually it was borderline to being a nightmare. The funny thing is that when I woke up from this dream/nightmare, I went to the restroom and returned to bed, only to continue on with it.....Had it of been a nice dream, I wouldn't have been able to finish it but since it was sort-of a nightmare, it went on and on until it was time for me to get up this morning. I hate it when that happens.....thank goodness it was just a dream. I know what triggered my having this nightmare. The other day, I was having a discussion with a few co-workers about scary movies. We were just talking about how the new horror films just don't seem as scary as the older ones did. Being that just about everything has been done as far as" scary things" are concerned, it leaves little or no room for much of anything else. I mean, you can only see someone possessed or being killed or tortured so many times and then it's no longer scary, right? Okay, I'm laughing now because it must still be scaring me since this conversation with my co-workers was in my sub-conscious mind enough to make me have a scary dream. Hmmmm....maybe I should find out what this dream actually meant. Then again, maybe I shouldn't......
