Mine, this morning (0500 to be exact) was the following: MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW MAOW? MAOWMAOW!
When you are pulled against your will from your sub-conscious, your brain goes into Kill Mode as soon as you recognize the noise. Oh Kitty, where aaaaarre youuuu? There you are. Why, what's that in your mouth? OH A MOUSE HOW PLEASANT.
Mister Murderer had successfully caught - and killed - a little mouse very early this morning. What threw me was that as soon as I stumbled into the bathroom and found a light to help deduce this situation, he stopped making noise. I saw Brak stretched out on the living room floor in kind of a weird position, and my brain immediately said "Hello, your cat is no more. He has ceased to be."
A bad feeling, that one - until his tail flapped a bit. Then the other girl-y portion of my brain kicked in to remind me of the prior time he caught a mouse. That's right. I was standing on the sofa for 25 minutes and trying to get the mouse outside via telekinesis.
Brak had begun jumping around a bit and pawing at the carpet where ...something seemed to be, so at this point there was really only one thing to do: Wake Up Someone Else. (He's a guy, things like this are in his contract.)
Me: ::squee squee:: kitty - he has something - i think it's a mouse - itsamousehehasamouse
Jason: ::sleeping:: guh. whut?
Me: I THINK THE CAT HAS A MOUSE
Jason: grr. uh. guh. k.
He went out to the living room to confirm that the cat did indeed have a mouse, which had now upgraded its' status to Dead Mouse. Probably a heart attack, possibly Death By Kitty. This current (very dead) mouse looked just like the one that had previously been trapped in our place, so I can't help but wonder if he came back to try and claim some vengeance.
Sorry buddy, today it looks like you're traveling by failboat.
As J was helping Brak realize that his new toy was going out to its' new home (the dumpster), I see a spot on the blinds. A large black spot, and we don't have Christmas lights that could possibly be poking through.
Me: Look at the blinds. In the front.
Jason: ::looks::
Me: What is that black spot?
He pokes at the blinds, and you know what it is? A MOTH. A moth!!!! You don't understand.
As he proceeds to score more man points by removing the mouse, killing and removing the moth, I close the bedroom door and go back to bed. It is 0530. Happy Sunday.
Today after breakfast, Jason and I stopped at Comics-N-Stuff for the first time in ever. We were looking for miniatures for me to start painting. Yeah, as in Warhammer or whatever. I have the itch again.
Anyway, fail on finding those, but I did score a very sweet plastic set of Brak's Mom & Dad!! WOOOOO!

Also. You know what they had at the counter? NKOTB TRADING CARDS. No stick of crappy gum inside though, just a sticker. I don't know if I'll be opening it though. But man!
OH OH OH OH-OH
OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH-OH
THE RIGHT STUFFZ
In other news, still sick.
Sometimes on really bad days, the only thing that gets me through them is to make a list of good things. Even if there's only one thing, and even if it's only "my tea today was really good", it helps to use that as a starting point to focus. It just ...helps, y'know?
Today has been and will be a pretty decent day, in the fact that I don't have to work so it will be fairly relaxed. Even my work days are generally stress-free but you know what I mean. So I thought: you know, if I find a couple of good things when my days are *good* then it will help balance out even further on the days that are *not* good! Woot. :)
Anyway.
Today's Happy Thoughts are:
:) Free flowers! The bonus of working at a special events place is that there are always items left behind... like flowers. So if I happen to find a random bouquet of flowers after everything has been cleaned up, why throw them out? I can put them in water here at home or the office and they're pretty for at least a few days.
:) Having Mondays off is AWWWWESOMMMMME.
:) The only problem with classical music is that the volume tends to go way down... and then WAY up. The good thing about listening to it at home on your days off is that you can have volume way up to match, and then it just doesn't matter.
