Cold Waves

2009.01.21


It is cold outside. What's new though? This is New York, and it is January.

I stayed home today. Lack of sleep ruined me.

All night I was picking up mouse traps. We found we had some mice recently when we had muffins sitting out, and all of the tops were eaten off. I set up four traps and now three mice are dead.

All night I thought they were going to mount some sort of revenge upon me in my sleep. I was pretty paranoid. One image of one of them was ingrained into my mind for eternity. Somehow he managed to make it all the way onto the trap so it came down on his back. When I came into the room it looked like he was staring at me. But in reality he was dead. I felt so cruel for doing it. But what can you do?

lynnsgallery2 Fantastic B&W set...#1 is brilliant!!! Sorry to hear about the mice...I have a cat so I don't see mice...although if she saw one I don't think she would know what to do with it :))

jenjung I like these!

I had mice in my apartment once. They ate through a loaf of bread and made a nest in my laundry basket - ended up throwing everything in it away. I don't like killing them either - the way their necks flatten out from the trap is so sad looking...

longimanus Fantastic title for the first image, the waves of a frozen surface. And your mice hunt story made me lough... I cought a mice once with a rat cage and when I had the mouse in my hand, I felt its heart beating like mad, I decided to let her go...

Cherax Yes, great mood.
I put some traps out recently, but the mice just pinched the baits.

Dragana that first picture is so beautiful ... your story reminds me of a friends story when he moved somewhere in brooklyn and the first morning he went to have some cereal and as he went to take the box box started to jump on the counter ... fool of rats

p.s. do you know the thing you switch into the electricity and emits the sound that repels insects and rats. its pricey but well worth it and you don't have to have their blood on your hands" :)

Pernille gorgeous!

JuliaGotz beautiful! I relate to your mouse troubles. Before I had cats, I also had some horrific trap experiences. Like the trap going off in the middle of the night, and then hearing this terrible struggle - when it only partly catches the mouse - oh so awful.
