Day 12 self improvement
well I haven’t improved much but I have plenty of time to keep trying.
its a lovely day today after 3 days of rain, I must try and force myself to go for a walk.
saw a mouse run across the room and under the refrigerator and wondered what it was attracted to as the house is kept pretty clean. Then I remembered the dog food bowls which always have something in them, ahhh. So I will empty them every night and make sure no dishes are left on the sink and hope that works.
well I think I am now officially old with nothing to talk about except the weather, the garden and a mouse in the house. It sounds boring but that’s ok, I still relieve drama and trauma in my mind every day so extra excitement not really needed. Be ok though if something good happened.

please put some mouse poison behind the refrigerator....I did after two days of seeing mouse running here....he died...ate the poison...found him being played with by my dog...thankfully she did not eat him and I ran him thru the garbage disposal because he would have stunk in trash can and did not want to flush him whole and plug the sewer lines....
I would be way too squeamish to do what you did to that mouse. You must have a strong stomach.
A warmer place to sleep is a major attraction for most critters, including myself.
I use those fabric softener dryer sheets to keep rodents out of their favorite nesting spots. For a large appliance, I slide them under the appliance far enough that they are hard to see but near enough that I can pull them out easily. Humans are pretty much the only mammals that like the smell of perfume and those dryer sheets are jam packed with perfume.
I doesn't know but I does believe that "Self-Improvement" plans always fail for me because they feed my self-loathing far more than they improve my character. "White Trash" is best improved by setting on the curb for portage to the local landfill. I believe I need to love myself as is before I can find the spirit of improving on the theme. I only believe. I'll leave the experting to the Ex Spurts.
For what it's worth
I likes ya just the way you are, rats and all. Of course it helps that I can't hear you clicking your teeth from here. . .
I likes you too Arfie and don’t believe you’re trash. That’s such an American expression isn’t it? We call our people battlers, much kinder, though that’s more the older days than now I guess. We also have bogans but they’re proud about it. I beg to differ about the perfume, bees like perfume. I was attacked by a swarm once after using a flowery smelling conditioner. Lucky I was at the beach and dived in the water. Still got a few stings though. I just reread that, you said mammals so you’re probably already on the ball about bees, after all you have a few hives. I bet those dryer sheets make the house smell nicer.
I’m not being too hard on myself with the self improvement, I’m just trying to have a goal and purpose during quarantine..if it works great..if not there’s always another time. I have done my food garden and still learning Spanish, so two out of four achieved already.
I am more serious about the smoking after the copd diagnosis but will just keeping trying until I get it right. BTW have you got a fag I can borrow, just one? Lol. No oh well I’ll just sit here clicking me teeth and dreaming of the good old days when I was invincible and devil may care and old age seemed like something that happens to other people.
Bees aren't mammals, friend. Rats and humans are mammals. Of course nectar gatherers like perfume. I just love watching fashion divas dealing with the insects their perfumes attract.
Nope, the only fag I'll loan out is the one I call, "Son." I get sadistic joy out of watching future ex-smokers squirm while I put my bestest drama into the joys of smoking. Gee. . . Why are ex-smokers so mean? ? ? Besides, returning a used cig is rude even in Arfie's smoke easy.
Lol we can laugh at each other. And yeah, I re read it and saw mammals but was too lazy to delete it and start again. I was at the pharmacy today stocking up on 3 types of inhalers so I won’t be short of something to inhale.
I was wondering if you knew what fag meant over there. I think we get it from the Poms.
