[off-topic] Someone be nice to me, please? Oh GOD.

[SephStarr]

I apologise that this is off-topic, I just need some TLC for a moment here! [grin]

After a fitful and restless hour's sleep during which I had vague nightmares and was half-lucidly aware of a faint scritching sound, I have been woken up to realise that there is a MOUSE. In my BEDROOM. It took me half an hour to work up the courage to get from the middle of the bed (frozen in irrational fear, crying, yelling and having an enormous panic attack) to the door, which I slammed behind me to contain the damn thing.

I am being silly and pathetic and idiotic. It is a mouse. It is tiny. It is cute. It is more scared of me than I am of it. If they're on the street or on the Tube I *like* them. However. It is IN MY BEDROOM, and for reasons unbeknownst to me I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.

I don't know what to do. I want it out of the flat, but I'm being too stupid to go back in there. I live with my father, who I did wake up. He was unsympathetic and went back to sleep. I'm going to have to wake him up again and demand in manner of four year old that he DO SOMETHING, aren't I? Bugger.

And I'm worried that I'll be too terrified to sleep in there tonight even if he does get rid of it. This is pathetic. I just want to be in bed, for God's sake...

EDIT: There's no way of persuading him to do anything. He's now gone back to sleep. I know how stupid and irrational and pathetic this is, but I just *can't* open that door. Am in floods of tears, which is Silly. God knows what I'm going to do. I really, really don't like this. If there's any of you American types or insomniacs online, I'd appreciate a hug or something...

Sleep on the couch. Have you dad take care of it when he wakes up tomorrow. Although, frankly, it's probably gone out the way it came in, and isn't there anymore.

 

[graceanne]

Oh, yeah, and *hug*

I suspect that's exactly what I'll end up doing. Sadly I don't hold out much hope that it's gone-there's no way it could have got into my room other than by running through the door, it's entrance/exit must be somewhere else in the flat.

Thanks, darling Am too shaken to sleep, will have some tea first and then try to crash out on the sofa. It's half four in the morning here, for God's sake...

I'd definately drink some tea - you're too freaked right now to sleep otherwise.

I've put the kettle on.

I've got no idea why it's affected me this badly-it never has done before, though admittedly there's never been a mouse in my room before.

Heh-all this would have been MUCH easier if there had been someone asleep in the bed with me who wasn't scared! [sigh] I may have an awful lot more sex than your average single woman, but there's still plenty I'm missing...

 

[SephStarr]

Whoops, missed Neon's post Thanks, darling-I'm being Silly, but hugs are Good!

 

[SephStarr]

I have a cup of tea now and am feeling much better, though still not willing to actually go into the room and try to get it out! I was about to say that I'm going to try and get some sleep on the sofa now, but I've just realised that this is my hundredth post so I shall play with avs first... [grin]

LOL..

 

[SephStarr]

Except I don't seem to have the option to upload yet. Hmm. Does it have to be *over* 100? Maybe this one will do it...

I've been playing with the skins, too. Everything looks COMPLETELY different now. I like it, but it will take some getting used to!

 

[graceanne]

I'm not sure. I didn't even notice I was at 100 till I was a bit over. Heck, it was the same with 1000 and 10000. *shrug*

 

[SephStarr]

It's still not working; odd.

[sigh] I want to be a) asleep in b) my room with c) no mice. Do Not Need This. Especially considering how little sleep I got *last* night, and that I'm going out tomorrow and won't be home till three at the earliest, and will possibly be going home with my FWB to play, and I have no desire to be catatonically exhausted while trying to play.

Stupid little cute fluffy mice with their stupid powers of fear inducing

It's 5:20AM. It's broad daylight. Bah. So I suppose 'tomorrow' is now 'today', really...

LOL When you get to 1000 you should make that your title. hehe

Good time to invest in a cat? Or perhaps a yacht?

Ok, maybe I'm just a bit too tired, but . . . well I get the cat comment (which is a great idea), but the yacht?

 

[neonflux]

If it would help, I could lend you one of mine. They're pretty good with big bugs, so bet they'd have no trouble with a mouse!

Just checking in on you one last time before going to bed to wish you at least a little shut-eye! Neon

I think you have to log out, and then log back in to get the option.

BTW, have you named the mouse yet?
Maybe if you get to be friends with it, it won't seem so bad.

 

[subtleone]

Awwww Seph *sends hugs, tea and jaffa cakes* Hope you manged to get a little nap in so you are playing nicely as I type

 

[Yang4yin]

Maybe this would help...

I wouldn't go to sleep. Mice have been known to crawl inside vaginas and lay their eggs.

Eggs?

You're a brat.

That's so mean! Luckily she's out enjoying herself and hopefully will be on too much of a sexual high, when she returns, to care.


Do mice eggs look like this? Just so I know...

Just kidding. The bad thing is if you have one you probably have an infestation. Get some of the little blue cubes of mice poison at Walmart. They love that shit and it will get rid of them in about 3 days.
