Start the day as you mean to... uh... go on...?

Actually, I started the day throwing a bit of a wobble at the maternal one. She's taken to letting the dog out when she goes down to make breakfast, and then LEAVING him out when she comes back upstairs to eat. Only thing with that of course is that, leaving the dog unattended like that, all he fucking does is bark at passers-by. Of which there are a lot on a weekday cause we're within spitting distance of the local school not to mention all the people flocking in and out of the corner shop over the road.
As a result, I have been woken up by the dog barking Every. Single. Morning. Since the start of term.
It's not pleasing me and I would put money on it not pleasing the people next door. And I had to go down and get him in myself this morning before I snapped and killed someone in my psychopathic early morning crankiness. (I'm not a morning person)
I admit I gave the door a bit more of a slam than it needed and the stairs a bit more of a stomping than they actually required on the way back up.
"That was vherement..." she said, nonchalently from the other side of the bedroom door.
*twitch*
I ranted. She seemed unimpressed and told me it was time to get up anyway.
No! No... 'nother bloody half-hour, damnit, I only work 5 minutes away. *gesticulates madly at the alarm clock that's still a solid 20 minutes from sounding*

*ugh*

Also one of the chickens perished in the night. She's currently sitting in a baggie on top of the chest freezer until mum does something with her. And by does something, I assume the maternal one means to cook her. Though I do ask, given as we have no idea why she perished, is eating her really the best option here... *eyebrows*

So yeah, now it's Wednesday; grocery day... and I have to go hope and pray JR's not used all my petrol.

Fuckin' fuel strike...

For the record... still tired and crabby.

Oh, and I forgot to say anything about the critter-fun yesterday too.
I went to take the granny-one's re-cycling bags out the bins ready for the morning collections, and as I was taking out the paper bag, this THING just goes WOOOOOOOOOSH! like a wall-o-death around the inside of the bag.
I admit it... I wasn't expecting that. I also admit that I screamed like a girl.
Anyway, it stopped running the wall-o-death and finally paused beside a chewed-up copy of the Mail, the lardiest lil' mouse you've ever seen. Then it scurried off into the depths of the paper pile. Seems granny had put something in there the day before and not put the lid back on properly, and well, you know it was nice and cosy and inviting in there for a mousie looking for a place to crash.

Hauled the bag out but I wasn't gonna' go mouse diving even though I could hear it scampering about inside. I guess it probably went with the collection cause it seemed quite at home in the nooks and crannies but seriously... what is it with the fucking mice?
First the cat brings one in that escapes around here somewhere, now they're setting up camp in the recycling at the g-ma's. That's two in a fortnight which is, honestly, I swear, more mice than I've seen around here in the last 14 years put together.


*ugh* stupid fuckin' rodents...


But on the good side, View I found the post office here still does IRCs and now has $$ conversion on demand, so I can actually send off that writing competition entry for myself. Which is good. Though does mean I have to pull my finger out, fix a couple of little problems and get a really thorough edit all before time gets on too much further cause you know what international posting can be like...

But aside from all that.. I'm going to go and be surly over in that corner there for a while...
