More adventures wiv Mouse
very very dead Mouse.
Yeah the semi-electrocuted Mouse shuffled off its mortal coil thing recently... thank god! It had been creeping around with glazed eyes in a half-dead mousey-zombie fashion for ages. And then next I know, there's this AWFUL smell in my room
That's the problem with Dying Mouse. Eventually it is Dead Mouse. And it chooses mouse-like places to die like behind cupboards, under desks etc. One doesn't ever notice or come across a dead mouse. One is alerted to it by the whiffy odour that emanates from some inaccessible corner of the room.
So after moving loads of furniture around - the corpse was located and duly chalk outlined. Actually that's not true. Mouse had died in a particular gruesome manner. So gruesome, I couldn't bear to go anywhere near it. It was lying in a huge puddle of coagulated blood, bloody entrails leaking out of its body, body soft and deflated and decomposing, decomposed limbs hanging loosely, gnawed on perhaps by a fellow mouse..........I nearly threw up.
Then picked up a pillow and evacuated to a couch in the living room for the night. I can catch, pick up, pin and dissect live mice. But the smell of a dead one makes me whimper and run away yelping with my tail between my legs.
Well at least its dead.
One down and four to go
On a happier note, Arsenal's been doing alright - wins against Birmingham City 3-1, Blackburn 6-1. In fact Arsenal's won all their Premier League matches except for THAT absolutely DISASTROUS trip to Manchester. Captain Cesc's been out of commission with serious family problems but apparently they won't affect his club fixtures.
Speaking of serious family problems, my poor little brother has Dengue fever. Well he isn't so little. But he was in hospital last weekend and has been running fever like 101-102 deg Fahrenheit for a week now. What's that? 38-39 deg Celsius? I don't know. A LOT. His lips are all blistered and dry and his cheeks look sunburned. But his platelet count isn't falling fast enough that he needs to get re-admitted to hospital. Of course, if it does start falling fast enough - he'll need blood transfusions ASAP. So all he can do is have water and paracetamol.
Bah paracetamol.......there's got to be something stronger!
