The mouse problem has taken a distinct turn for the worse. Last night, I had the first multiple mouse sighting. I put a piece of bread in a plastic bag on the living room floor and sat silently reading a magazine in the kitchen. There was immediate interest, though the mice were clearly skeptical of this, often scattering away as they approached the opening of the bag. I finally got a few of them to climb in, but was unable to sneak up on them in time to snatch the bag.

This morning, Mike and I both had a few mouse sightings. Mike looked online and came back with some bad news. "If they're coming out during the day, we have a serious problem on our hands. They're nocturnal, so if they're coming out during the day, that means that there are so many of them that they've run out of food and need to search for it after hours."

Over the past few hours, things have gotten worse. To give you an idea, I've spotted 5 mice while writing this entry over the last 5 minutes -- some of them crawling on the couches. Sweet Jesus. We've contacted the exterminator, but hopefully he can make it over here before the mice completely take over the house. This whole thing just gives me the willies. I'm actually excited to go to work.
