I had a hard time getting up with the alarm this morning. As I was getting ready to go to bed last night, I received a notification of a vegetation fire near Guerneville. I waited until they said forward progress was stopped and two hours for mop-up, and then had a hard time coming down from the preparation Bex and I did to be 100% ready to go.
It was Monday, so a work day. I took a long lunch to spend time with Bex.
While we were evacuated, the mice decided that this would be a good place to hang out. I've set a Rat Zapper under the sink in my bathroom and have been catching one, two, and sometimes three a day since we returned, sometimes two at a time. Yesterday, the light was blinking so I took the trap outside to dump it. And all that fell out was a Q-Tip. Are they that smart or was it accidental? I quit baiting the trap after that because the Q-Tip triggered the plate, turning it off, and the bait was gone. I can't believe they were smart enough to do that deliberately. The trap works fine without bait.
It's been a long Monday, a little warm this afternoon, but apparently not as hot as it will be next weekend. We're bracing ourselves for anything.
We are safe and well. I hope you are too.
