Mice, Mice and More Mice

Arrived home about 9:30 p.m.  Had a nice trip down.  Had rain a couple of times.  We came down I-65 and sure glad we did.  Apparently, I-75 had a lot more rain, watches and warnings.  We were met by Kevin, Renea and Ryan.  They came inside for a short time.  Ryan didn’t stay.  When they left Brian and I went to bed and collapsed!  Brian slept in my room and I slept on the hide-a-bed.  Worked out fine.  I did this so Penny didn’t pester him.  He offered to sleep on the hide-a-bed, but I thought he should get a good night’s sleep since he was leaving for Cincinnati in the morning.

I spent all day Thursday putting everything away.  I got the luggage emptied.  I put away the books I bought.  I put away the books I brought back that Jana gave me to read.  Renea brought my mail over so I went through all of that. Jana had given me a basket that Mom had which was filled with spools of thread, embroidery thread, scraps of material and some other odds and ends.  I sorted through all of that and emptied it and put all the items away. I wrote up my grocery list since I was out of everything.  After supper I was finished.  I was tired! 

Friday morning I went to Tigertown and got a haircut.  Then went to Kroger.  After shopping I filled the gas tank.  Came home, and Kevin was on his was over to visit and he helped me bring in the groceries.  Thank you Kevin!  After putting away the groceries and eating lunch, I tackled all the paperwork that had been accumulating.  Took me all afternoon to finish that.  Kevin and Renea went to Rebekah’s graduation so I fed the dogs and let them out to do their business.  After that I called it quits.

Saturday morning I did a couple loads of laundry.  After lunch I went to Bruce and Jennifer’s for Rebekah’s graduation party.  Had a really nice time.  I met Bruce’s family and Jennifer’s family.  Bruce’s family were there from Colorado.  Jennifer’s parents were there from Texas, and her sister was there from Tennessee.  I left the party early so I could go to Mass.  I stopped at Walmart on the way to church to pick up a few items.

Sunday morning I started doing my laundry.  Will probably take me all day.  I don’t know how I accumulated so much, but I did.  My laundry basket was overflowing 😊. 

While I was in Ohio the mice gnawed a hole in my bathroom cupboard.  So, I immediately set a trap.  I caught my first one during the night last night.  Got rid of it and set another trap.  I have caught another one.  I have decided not to fill in the hole right now, and just continue to set traps and, hopefully, catch them all.  I know we have a mouse problem living in the country so I will just keep trapping them.  I actually caught three mice today.

I decided to watch the Indy 500.  It was rather exciting.  After supper I planned to watch the NASCAR race.  However, after it started they had to red flag it because of rain.  Then by the time they were ready to race again it was time for me to go to bed. 

I did all of my laundry except for towels which I will do tomorrow.  In between loads of laundry I went through a lot of old papers, etc., that I could throw away.  I didn’t realize I had saved so much “stuff.”
