I saw him
EEECCCKKKK a mouse! I saw him. Now I can't just pretend the mouse is part of Andy's delusional brain. It's true, he was just meandering around the kitchen, not scurrying as fast as I'd prefer a mouse guest to do. What to do? Andy is in Greece and if I put out a muiz trap I might just catch one. And then what? I think I'd have to scoop him up with something and throw him out the window? What if he squeals? Or doesn't die? Or he does die and then I'm a muiz killer.
I was all set to go to bed early tonight after a rough day of riding around the city with two kids in the bike. De Rode Hoed was on the Kaizergracht not the Princengracht as I'd thought and the Muntplein was next to the clock tower but not that clock tower. How many towers next to canals did the city need back in 1685?
Now I'm all freaked out about a muiz/mouse cuddling up to me during the night or scurrying across my forehead as I sleep. Is this something I can call my landlord about? Oh, I just remembered that Andy took both cell phones with him so I can't call the landlord anyway. I can't even call Andy to tell him he was right about the mouse.
Time to eat Cheetos and hope that puffed cheddar will make this all leave my brain.

Aww, that little mouse was so cute--at least the small glimpse I got of it. I can't believe you are thinking about getting rid of it. Can't we all just get along?

Are you just posting this so all of us that are seething with jealousy think you have it rough living in Amsterdam with no worries and a mouse? Although, I would definitely need to move immeadiately. Hang in there!
