The two books I ordered on how to be a successful freelance writer just arrived. More money into the pockets of writers! I need to get some business drummed up for a couple of reasons:
1. I need to create something a customer is happy with just to reinforce that I am good at what I do. I know I am, but I want proof.
2. I need to have a client list to show other people so I can have an even bigger client list.
3. I can’t just sit here watching Mikey the Fish all day for the rest of my life. I did clean out his tank today. And every time I do, I’m reminded how much I appreciate that our friend Kim gave him to my son for a birthday present.
Month: February 2002
They were WAY less noisy last night. Of course, it was freezing cold again, and I think they are noisier when it’s warmer out. Either way, I got some sleep and we can all be thankful for that. I did hear some rumblings early early this morning, but nothing that would jolt me out of sleep like they did the other night. Yeesh.
Poor mousies. I hardly knew ye.
Looks like today I should call it the Snow Cam.
WHY AREN’T THEY DEAD YET?!!!
I mean, I love animals, just not in a PETA-way. I love them when they are not in my house, when they are not potentiall destroying wiring that will set my house on first. When they are not leaving feces all over the floor, and messing up my insulation. They did NOT pay me rent, and I want them out. If it were possible to put them outside and tell them “listen, you can’t come back. You aren’t welcome” I would have. But these things are destructive, and worse, they have been getting so active and noisy that I can’t sleep. Do you understand? They keep me awake ALL NIGHT. It’s like living in an apartment building and the upstairs neighbors are having a party. I bang on the ceiling but it doesn’t stop them.
So last night I’d hoped they would be quiet, but NoooOooooOooo. I hope they find that mouse bait really tasty. And soon.
