Much of my life has been spent figuratively and literally running into the furniture.<BR/><BR/>And I think the Dynamo would love a pet mouse, but not as much as our cat Midge. She certainly loves the ones who come in here...<BR/><BR/>Yesterday's mouse was safely shuttled out, but as long as it's warm and dry in here, there will be more.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, CS and Charles, I think the brain needs a little re-boot time between projects and phases of projects...Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-63449707091729658742007-04-18T08:23:00.000-07:002007-04-18T08:23:00.000-07:00It is so hard to STOP, isn't it?

I know I need to get to work on my mystery (fast and furious), my garden needs work, my house needs cleaning, yet after focusing on this book so hard it's incredibly difficult to take a deep breath and motivate myself to do something else.cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-86811240124495632152007-04-18T08:11:00.000-07:002007-04-18T08:11:00.000-07:00Anytime I'm going to do revisions I like to let th...Anytime I'm going to do revisions I like to let the piece set for a few days before returning to it.

He never seemed to get the brakes on fast enough to counteract furry paws on a slick surface.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with all your works in progress, including the cleaning. There's something I should tell you, though, which you might now want to share with the TD. We used to live next to a large field - there's no way under those circumstances to completely mouse-proof your home. I suggest getting her one as a pet to desensitize her. :) <BR/><BR/>I eventually learned to capture them with a bowl and a piece of paper (couldn't stand traps or poison) and dropped them back outside. (Where they just gave me the finger and ran back in before me.)RK Sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034917381901499281noreply@blogger.com
