September 2011--Mouse adventure


18-09-11 there is a mouse in my house I'm sure of it it's horrible, I'm recleaning everything with bleach and I read peppermint oil should keep them away as they don't like the smell. I am mystified how one got in.
I guess I'm living in the country now.
I felt something last night crawling under my mattress or it might have been under my pillow
I woke up freaked out, but there was nothing I could do until morning
Everything was closed on Sunday, so I couldn't buy anything to get rid of it
There's this big drawer under my bed, very practical, but it has two holes instead of handles, and then the plank where my mattress sits is full of air holes
So I'm freaked out
I sprayed everything with bleach and window cleaner
I read online that the ammonia in window cleaner they can't stand
It will have to do for tonight
It got all the way into my top kitchen cupboard and left teeth marks in my crackers that were open. I had to throw them out.
Thank goodness most everything else was well shut and sealed.
I still cleaned everything.
The worst is my bed, I can't wash my sheets, I just hope hope hope and pray it wasn't actually on my bed but under.
Yesterday was the first day I cooked
The smell of the food must have attracted them
I don't want to cook anymore, I'm going to have to live off of the restaurants universitaires
I want to wait until the mice are gone to finish unpacking, otherwise to avoid taking it all out again if the mice come back
Anyways
I don't know if I can sleep tonight

19-09-11 I booked my ticket for Nantes, it was 14,50 aller retour. Not tgv, but I won't be going there every weekend
There is some kind of additional student pass for getting around Maine et loire, I need to look into it, although I don't know if it will come out any cheaper than with the student card I have now

I think I found out where the mice are coming from, there is an air vent right above the top kitchen cupboards
My tummy hurts I hope that's not why
I didn't think they would have them in France

I think I'm a bit murophobic
I can't stand even the thought of mice

mom says she dreamed about me all night that she was coming to visit me

They responded immediately
Sent someone right away
They couldn't understand me say souris at first
I had to talk to 4 different people before they got it
Rat is even worse with the way I say the r
The guy asked about my bags, if it came in my bag with me
I was shocked
But I realized I don't know where they have been with sncf for 5 days
Between the time they picked them up and delivered
Well I'm not unpacking till I get a trap
I havent checked everything yet for damages
All my art
Ahhhhhhhh
I hâte mice

20-09-11 Mouse hasn't come back, but I'm not surprised, I flooded my house with moth balls
I put them on the plank under my mattress, put window lean around my bed, and slept through the night
There is poison out if it comes back it should eat it.

Bought cards for D., Mai and Pepe.
Went to Pizza and Board Games, anglophone night at the English Library. Met a lovely British lady from Angers/England.
Asked Liz about small job offers.
I don't fit in with small town people.

Grand-Mère, quel savon utilises-tu? Tes draps, la couverture d'oreiller que tu m'as donnée, sentent si bon; ça me fait me souvenir de toi et de grand-père et des nuits que j'ai passées chez vous.

21-09-11  After my graphic design, I'm going to get a degree in law.
Looking back is always painful. There is always something that you could have done better, something that you would have never dreamed of doing.
I'm just reveling in the silence. It calms my soul. It is better than music to my ears right now.

I killed the mouse yesterday! Told belle veille the mouse is killed. I told them its possible it was in my bag sncf had delivered as i found a bitten hole in two bags. Asked them to help set up traps if i hear un bruit, je vais leur dire, ils vont faire une deratisation.
I have to wash all my clothes, and discinfect my papers the best I can
I'm going to get sncf to pay damages. I paid for insurance.

We shouldn't teach "make the best of your circumstances" instead we should make the best circumstances  we can to replace the bad ones we have.

I love beautiful things, getting something I've always wanted for a long time, waiting and finding and getting exactly what I want. I want every detail of my life to be this way!
