I have the most bizarre story for you.

A few weeks ago I went to my sister’s house and my Dad called me to tell me neither of my pet mice were moving.  I thought it was odd, I knew one of them was getting old and sick but the other seemed okay when I saw them earlier.  He asked if I’d like him to put them in the backyard, I said yes and thank you.  Anyway, recently I’ve caught glimpses of a mouse running around my house. I assumed it was feral and was going to set a mouse trap, until I noticed he was bigger than the average-sized feral mouse and orange rather than black; like the mouse I thought was healthy.  He was so skinny, I didn’t even recognise him.  I realised he was indeed my mouse when I was crouched next to the fridge and he came up to me, followed me around and then waddled over to his old cage when he saw it.  It was really quite sweet.  Unfortunately he doesn’t look to be in the best health and one of his legs is injured, but I’ll keep an eye on him and call the vet if he doesn’t improve soon.

Strange, hey?  My dad said he put them both up the very back of the backyard.  He was shocked to see one of them back.  A part of me wonders if he just wanted to get rid of them while I was gone for a few days, because my parents have never liked me having pet mice.  I’m not going to let it bother me though.  I’m just glad he’s back, and I hope I can nurse him back to health.

So yesterday my cleaning plans were interrupted once again, by my rescue mission.  I did manage to get some things done though.

In the afternoon Gavin came around with his computer so he could cheer me up by playing Team Fortress 2 with me into the night.  I needed cheering up because I had had a nightmare the night before.  His computer is still behind me; it’s my hostage.  The ransom is $200,000,000, although I haven’t actually told him that yet. Probably a good idea to, so he knows how much he has to pay off… bwahahaha!

We then stayed up until midnight to buy tickets to Big Day Out, which is in January.  Alex bought tickets for Lynnette, himself and me and Gavin bought himself a ticket.  I’m so excited about it!  I know heaps of people who are going.  I get the impression that my ex, Liam will be there.  As long as I don’t see him I don’t particularly care though.  By then I don’t think even seeing him will bother me too much.

Today I got up and went to my sisters to babysit but she wasn’t there; she had driven to my house because my niece was sick.  Haha.  It was an amusing situation.  She felt really bad about the whole thing, she had called me but I was driving so I didn’t answer.  I was glad to have a nice morning drive anyway, listening to Breaking Benjamin.  It ended up working out better anyway because when I got home I realised I really didn’t feel very well.

Alex came over in the afternoon to pick up my share of the Big Day Out money, I saw Eevari as well for a while.  I had quite a nice day.  The only problem was that because I wasn’t feeling really well I just wanted to curl up on the couch and watch a movie for the day.  I ended up having to go out and do things, I was just so tired.  Ah well, these things happen. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be feeling better.

Monique still isn’t talking to me; I sent her a message asking if she’d like to do something this weekend and she sent a rather cruel one back.  I know people will be wondering why she isn’t talking to me, I can’t tell you though because I don’t actually know.  I’m happy to continue to wait until she’s ready to talk to me again though.

I also sent Nicki a text asking if he’d like to do something tomorrow but he replied with “No.”  I think he’s angry at me for something too.  I have to wait for him to be ready to talk to me as well.  I miss them both; Monique and Nicki that is.  I want to be a good, loyal friend to them both but sometimes it really is difficult.

Why do I keep pissing people off without knowing why!?  Sometimes I wonder if it’s me; I don’t think it is though, in all honesty.

Drama, drama, drama.

Oh, my neighbours had a baby boy at approximately 3:00 this morning, so congratulations to them!

Apparently my eyes are piercing. Pierce, pierce, pierce!

Gavin has told me he doesn’t want to see any 4am posts so I think I’ll be a good girl and get an earlier night tonight.

I just read my blog from last night.  It’s so disjointed; my brain was all over the place last night.  I picture it as scrambled eggs.  I hope it mostly makes sense.

Anyway, today was so messed up.  It’s sort of confusing but I’ll try and be as clear as I can.  As you know, Nicki stayed the night here last night.  You know also that one of my mice (his name is Eddie) was looking unwell today, and that Liam and I decided to take him to the pet shop today to get him checked out.

So let me start from the beginning.

Nicki and I got up at about 12 noon.  I was expecting that we would get up, go into Strathpine to do some of his assignment, and then I would take him home in the afternoon, pick up Liam and get Eddie checked.  To me it appears as though he was under the impression we would get Eddie checked and then go into Chermside to do his assignment.  You can see how this is a problem.

I got a text from Liam saying he would be at the train station near my house at 1:40pm.  I told Nicki that we could go to Strathpine for a while, and then I’d take him home and pick up Liam.  He saw it as me ditching him though, and decided he wanted to go straight home.  I felt really terrible because I was looking forward to spending the day with him because we had had a really nice night, but since Eddie was sick I wanted to get him checked with Liam because he’s our mouse.

I offered to drive him home rather than to the train station because I felt so bad.  His body language clearly stated to me that he didn’t want to talk to me, and I haven’t heard from him since.

When I got to Nicki’s place, I realised the time; nearly 2pm.  I think to myself, “Oh crap, I am SO late!” and pull over on the side of the road to send Liam a hasty text that said “Nicki is really angry at me. I’ll be there soon,” not realising I didn’t mention I meant I was on my way from Nicki’s house, not mine, which is an extra 20 minutes drive away.

I get to the train station, Liam isn’t there.  I call him.

“Where are you?”
“I walked. I’m around the corner, where are you?”
“Train station – I’ll be there soon.”

The phone cuts out.  I drive home after getting stuck waiting for 2 trains to go over the level crossing.  Liam is sitting out the front of the house waiting for me and he doesn’t look impressed.

I profusely apologised, but he was very angry at me.  I explained that I thought he would realise I was at Nicki’s house from my text, but obviously that wasn’t the smartest thing to assume.

We sorted it out anyway and ended up having quite a nice afternoon together cleaning the mouse cage.  We called the pet shop and they said that Eddie is probably in shock after losing his tail (we’re not sure how this happened, it appears to have been caught in something) and as long as he was eating and drinking he should be okay.  She said it could also be a blood infection, and to call a nearby vet that specialises in small animals to see what they say.  He should be okay though.  I’ll keep a close eye on him.

Yeah, I had a pretty bad day.  I was glad Liam cheered me up though; felt really nice.  I feel quite down at the moment but that’s mostly because Liam mentioned to me that next week he’ll be on holidays.  It upsets me because we would always look forward to holidays together.  Just another reality check, I guess.

Anyway, time for a nice, relaxing shower I think.
