Captured.

We are proud to announce the capture of a mouse. A little teeny mouse with beedy little eyes no longer resides in my basement/laundry room. Yesss. We are actively looking to capture more.

In other news, we received a phone call from our renter's agent stating that she found the necessary paperwork which forces our landlord to pay for a mice extermination. We will also be getting a general bug spray. Hooray!

Before we moved from Ogden, I had to sign our current lease agreement. I read every single line, every clause. I felt uneasy about one item. Extermination. The lease agreement stated that the renter would pay for a general extermination, once a year. I had a feeling that this hadn't been done for a long time, and that we could be moving into a problem that we would then be contracted to fix at our expense. After some annoyance and delay, our agent had our landlord sign an agreement to exterminate. Perfect.

It never happened, however and once our problem arose, he denied his agreement.

He has to exterminate now! Someone was watching out for us.


Lesson learned: ALWAYS listen to those little feelings that inspire you to do things that you can't quite make sense of at the time.
