You probably have neighbors going "What the hell is eating the bird seed?" and "What gnawed that hole in my couch and took the stuffing?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I often wish I could rewind the universe like a video just to see what sequence of events lead to the bizarre thing I'm looking at.

Yesterday I found a twisted-together jumble of about five shiny-bright never-used ruined wire clothes hangars, lying in my side yard between my neighbor's fence and my heat pump, where no one goes. What the hell? Who did that, and what for, and how did it get there? It looked like something a tornado would have dropped.

And in his underground lair a block away, Dr. Nefaria is rooting through his workshop muttering "Where did I put the Universal Discombobulation Antenna? It was just here."

Thrive to spite them

Suzi, the mice might have been industrious and moved the bird seed.

I have a cousin whose apartment became infested with mice she and her family had to move out for a bit. She did have a bit of a reaction of BURN IT ALL because there was mouse droppings in her infant's bassinet.

Anyway her husband was moving the couch and they found several pounds of dog food that they think the mice moved to hid there. Its' either that or her girls were moving the dog food and they don't think that was going on.

Oh, so that's who keeps shortcutting through my yard! shakes fist Nefaria, you bastard, this isn't over!

ahem

So, my doctor appointment was cancelled as I was enroute, so I got lunch and came back home, and it started pouring rain about fifteen minutes after I got home. If I'd gone to the appointment, I'd have gotten caught in the rain coming home. Instead, I'm comfy and dry and I have fried chicken. I call today a win for me.

Askye, it was a drawer FULL of seed. Like a 20 lb bag of seed. How does that happen?

Carnivorous Borrowers? Or omnivorous, I guess, if they were eating both the birdseed and the mice.....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Zenkitty, I'm going to take this opportunity to say CONGRATS ON YOUR HONEST SUCCESS, DEAR FRIEND, AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE EATING FRIED CHICKEN PARTS TO CELEBRATE [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Askye, it was a drawer FULL of seed. Like a 20 lb bag of seed. How does that happen?

Oh! That's a lot weirder than I was thinking! I was thinking the amount and kind of stuff small animals move, like askye. Huh.
