A very exciting day to blog about! This morning at work Jason discovered a live mouse wedged between his file cabinet and cubicle partition. SICK. We all peered in to get a look at the scared little thing, and when I spied its beady black eyes I couldn't help but scream and jump from the counter I was standing on (nearly twisting my ankle landing in heels). Good way to get the whole office tweaked! Maintenace came a bit later on and clobbered it... I was in a meeting at the time, but those nearby reported trauma at hearing the terrible squeals and shrieks. Though general consensus was to donate our furry friend to one of the research buildings, I'm fairly certain he met a different end. First task tomorrow morning? Empty the orange peels and used yogurt containers from the garbage under my desk!
This evening I continued my moving efforts. Nooo, I'm not moving back to Minnesota - I'm only traveling two buildings away to a smaller (cheaper) unit on my current complex. Earlier this year the management office sent me the renewal offer on my current apartment at a much higher rate - and refused to negotiate. ARGH! The letter came the week I was on a big "I refuse to spend money on things I don't really need!" kick, so partially out of defiance and mostly due to frugality, I decided to downgrade to a one bed/one bath. The prospect of a little less space is forcing me to go through bins, boxes and cabinets to purge excess. It's been a good cleansing activity, and will culminate in one large haul to the local Goodwill. ;-) Movers are coming this weekend to do the heavy lifting and hauling. Starting Monday, I'll be in #308. Please feel free to update your contact information!
