We have mice

 Evening


I managed another hour straight of exercising~

I had a quick bath and watched Inuyasha with Jack, he was glad he had skipped gaming and had gamed with theo instead. I was glad he had relaxed after a whole day of wallpapering.

I slept like the dead, having vivid dreams. Finding an old friend of mine (no longer talking to in real life) asking her to remember me as a child, how I used to be before I started slowly turning into a wolf like creature. Dreams are strange.

We woke up at 8:45am! I cant remember the last time we had such a lay in!

So after breakfast we put the last piece of wallpaper up! success and it looks so much better too

We decided to go out to the shops and picked up a fair bit like a new hose pipe

we got back home at midday and before we sat down we got our chores out the way. Jack's was cleaning the whole house and mine was cleaning the bathroom. We finished at the same sort of time. Then had lunch together. I went over to mum's for 1:30pm. Had a cup of tea with her then dad came home, I sat with the guineas which was nice but made my eyes itchy and watery and my chest tight so I decided to go home for eye drops and inhaler. Mum gave me my delivery of the day - Oz's wooden play thing, Jack calls it Oz's fortress. It needs assembling tho. I came home and sorted my eyes our and got the inhaler. I checked Oz. I walked into the garage and packaging blew across the floor. Packaging from 3 bird fat balls....which had fallen off the unit. So I went storming into the house and told jack "I think I know why Oz had stomach ache the other day! 3 fat balls have fallen to the floor and he's eaten them!!" so that made me feel sick as I had no idea how Oz was still alive after that. Its fat and seed.

I went to sleep for a bit as I was exhausted, then I got up and sorted out my nail varnish out as I brought 4 new ones which mum gave me today, I have thrown out half my nail varnishes! Some have gone off, some destroy my nails, some I have no idea why i still have!

I did dinner and whilst it cooked I went outside, I put a large bird feeder in the ground which came with the house, I stabbed it into the middle of our lawn, I also wedged some of the fence panels as god they do my head in when its windy. 

After dinner I bought Oz inside but he was so hungry as he's been outside all day ether laying, sunning himself or eating the grass. He hast been home for any of his food. So I took him home after half hour as I kept passing him treats but it wasnt enough he was hungry. When I took him home I turned to give him his popcorn - which was on the same unit at the fat balls used to be, they normally live on top of his cage but I moved them yesterday when I cleaned his cage out. The packet was empty.....So I looked around and felt like something might jump out at me so I went inside to get Jack.

We had a look round. The peanuts on top of the unit had a tiny hole chewed in it. The unit has a small hole in the corner at the bottom with a traffic walk way. I spotted all this and said "think we have mice" so I was relieved to find out that Oz hadnt eaten the fat balls, the mice had. But Oz has no more popcorn!!!! I said "will Oz be ok?" jack said "he will be fine as hes so much bigger than them, lets take the food away and see if they go away" I am hoping this plan works as I do not want to kill them. Our garage backs onto a public footpath with trees and hedging, bushes you name it - so wildlife like this is gonna happen time to time.  But I am glad Oz is ok. Thats the main thing. 

It's weird you know as the other day I took Oz home and I felt like something fell off the unit but only something brown caught my eye when I turned round. I looked round but couldnt see anything. Im wondering if that was a mouse leaping down off the unit, startled as I had walked in. It was probably eating the fat balls then!

I ordered more popcorn - priorities 


I will do my exercises and might get Oz in for a quick evening sit as he didnt get long earlier. Not sure how long I will exercise for tonight. See how I feel. Not eaten much today so I wont push it.


Tomorrow

we are gonna clean away all the wallpapering stuff from the craft room, sand down all the woodwork, paint the ceiling and Jack says he will build Oz's fortress. 

Jack has been gaming with Theo since 1:30pm XD hes having a gaming day and I am just letting him get on with it, make the most of Theo having the day off.

I will crack the whip tomorrow XD
