Depression and Mouse catching

*270* <---I lost weight, because the gym use to say I weighed 280ish when the house scale said I was 270ish. This is good.


I am a bit depressed. It is not hormonal in the sense that I am getting my period. Already dealt with that this month. I think it is a bunch of things.
   I do not see Fred as much as I used to because of work. I miss him terribly. I am alone much more because the girls have up and found some lives for themselves. It is just me and the animals alot of the time. And my bestie has got herself a man now. I am so happy for her but now I am a big lonely depressed sad sack. No wonder I am losing weight. There is no one to cook for and I am depressed anyway. I basically live on coffee and dinner. Dont yell at me for not eating. My ass is fat. I got enough padding to last me for awhile. I have nothing to do but housework and that makes me sad. I was reading with all my friends on Facebook were going to do for Friday night and the weekend. I got really sad because that is not me. That is how fucking insidious Depression is. It can make you be sad that people are in a corn maze at night freezing their asses off and you aren't. LOL
   I also think I have an infection in my ears and I think it is not a garden variety ear infection. I think it is my mastoids. They have always had a minimal amount of congestion but no one ever thinks to deal with it. Now I think it is getting to the point they need to be dealt with. Do I go to Dr in New Haven that I have not seen in years? Do I see the local Dr? Or do I try to get in to see Fred`s ENT in New Haven? Who knows.
So I was about to lay on the couch with the dog and be all maudlin when I hear the familiar high pitched tinny scream of a mouse caught by a cat. Milo caught his first mouse from the basement! Good boy. He was clueless with what to do with it. He injured it enough that the mouse hid in the bristles of my broom and dustpan. It kept screeching. I had to take action. I know what decomposing mouse smells like and it aint pretty!
I put on my shoes...cause if that mouse touched my feet..I would freak the fuck out.
I picked up broom and dust pan at same time and kind of pressed the mouse down. It stopped screaming but it was still moving. I went out on the porch and I flung that mouse..it flew in the air and landed in the neighbor`s yard. Good riddance mousey!
I should be honest though. As I was listening to the mouse scream for help, I called Fred on the phone. He did not answer. So I had to deal with it myself. Usually he deals with the any rodents. Yup, another job for me to do.


Can I lay on the couch now and be pitiful?

Mouse!

*270* <---I haven't really been paying attention.
It was a cool night sleeping last night. Fred and I had went out and we got home around 8pm. I tried to stay up by my ass was tired. Very very tired. Around 4am we were woken up by the sound of a high pitched screech!!! It got closer and closer and when I said to Fred "what is THAT?", the sound starting moving away from us ....going downstairs. Oliver caught a mouse! His first one, I think.Good boy! Fred went downstairs and tried to get it away from him but no luck. He gave up because it was 4am, it was dark, and he was tired. Thankfully, Oliver left it out for me to find. He left it on the dining room floor. It was all wet and mangled. It was definitely loved by all three of them,  I bet (Lu thinks that is de-classe..she was under the covers in bed with us). I live in an old house and you get the occasional mouse from time to time. That is why I will always have cats. They get the job done! hehehe Wet, blood thirsty, icky job.
It is a nice cool Sunday. I am going to clean the kitchen and start working on my Fall cleaning in the living room. I will be careful because my back has been hurting the past few days. I think I just strained it. I am keeping an eye, do not worry. I have no idea what I am going to do for dinner. Fred is going to his friend`s house to eat and watch football. This will be a running theme until it is over in January. I am okay with it. They get their guy time and I do not have to listen to it. The girls and I will watch Doctor Who. Chelsea taped it. It will be a good night for all.
