Pix, I have been there and done that. Mouse invasions are just gross.
Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Take a Xanax if you need to. And be upset if you need to. Trying to *not* be upset makes it worse, in my experience. And how you feel is totally legitimate and a natural response, like Liese and Plei said.
Thanks. I really can't tell you how helpful it is to just get that affirmation. I t heart Buffistas.
Pix,
I would lose my everloving shit and I have no known phobias of which I'm aware.
In fact, I think I would have a "kill it. kill it with fire" reaction.
I kind of did want to take a blow torch to the kitchen, honestly.
But not enough to say it twice. Oops.
Note: Please do not kill your house with fire.
I was pretty close.
I chose kill it with bleach. And I still feel pretty nasty, and I probably have more work to do when I move the bins that are out there now. Hi, denial!
Ugh, Pix, I had to deal with similar in the house I rented before I bought my place. And I literally have screamed and jumped on a chair when I've seen a mouse in the house. I remember spending an evening crouched on the arm of my sofa at the old place, rocking back and forth and crying while listening to mice scrambling around in my cupboard where I stored plastic bags. I just couldn't deal! I wish I had had a xanax at the time!
