Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

[anji1971]

I don't know, but if I ever wake up at 3:52 in the morning with mice on my mind, I'll be just a little worried............
You're a student -- shouldn't you be worried about papers and reports and stuff??

[Stefan-A]

I should, but I'm not. I have school for 8 hours per week right now, because of how they organized our courses, and the only thing that needs to be worried about, is a report on an environmental impact assessment that's is to be handed in next thursday. It's not really a major concern.

The mouse thing has been bugging me for weeks.

[anji1971]

Yes, it's funny how our brains focus on one thing, and it'll bug us forever, even if nobody else can figure out why that is the one thing keeping us awake at night!!
Hope you get your mouse issues all sorted out soon so you can get a decent sleep. 3 and 4 am is not a good wake-up time, Stefan!

"The large garter snake which you saw, my dear lady, is comparatively
harmless. It lives on toads and frogs, and robs the nests of young birds,
and also pilfers the eggs. Its long forked tongue enables it to catch
insects of different kinds, it will even eat fish, and for that purpose
frequents the water as well as the black snake.

The snake will swallow her young ones," said Mrs. Frazer. "I have seen
the garter-snake open her mouth and let the little ones run into it when
danger was nigh. The snake also lays eggs: I have been and handled them
often. They are not covered with a hard, brittle shell, like that of a
hen, but with a sort of whitish skin, like leather: they are about the
size of a blackbird's egg, long in shape; some are rounder and larger.
They are laid in some warm place, where the heat of the sun and earth
hatches them. But though the mother does not brood over them, as a hen
does over her eggs, she seems to take great care of her little ones, and
defends them from their many enemies by hiding them out of sight in the
singular manner I have just told you.

3 and 4 am is not a good wake-up time, Stefan!

The hell it isn't.

[drache]

I wake up at that time routinely and it is a fine time to wake up
it's the only time when nobody talks to me and I can actually get something accomplished, even if it's just having my tea before it gets cold

[Stefan-A]

Hope you get your mouse issues all sorted out soon so you can get a decent sleep. 3 and 4 am is not a good wake-up time, Stefan!

The two are unrelated. I just have an uncomfortable bed.

But I did sort out 1/3 of the mouse problem.

Awww, he/she is cuuuuute!

I like the early morning hours when the hubby and doggies are all still sleeping and I can creep out and get horsie kisses that are still all dewey. But not this time of year, lol. Horsies can keep their frozen dewey muzzles!!!!

[adamanteus]

Aww, Stefan has a mouse.

[Stefan-A]

Are you jealous, James?

[adamanteus]

Not at all, Stefan.... I've already eaten tonight!
