And now, a highly scientific study of what happens when He-Mouse is out of town:

1. Things that increase
Risk of fire
Boredom
Watching of stupid television
Aimless wandering around house
Occurrence of spiders
Weird noises
Random paranoid strategies related to weird noises*
Really dumb mistakes (like stubbed toes, completely forgotten things, etc)
Broken shit within our house (oven is now refusing to turn on, which is probably okay because of the fire thing)

Boo Jersey. Come back, He-Mouse.

* I got a DOORSTOP ALARM. It is louder than an ambulance siren, and it is HILARIOUS. Its main function is to ensure that a) anybody who breaks in to murder me will at least be deaf by the end of the deed and b) the whole neighborhood knows when I get up to pee cause I forget to take it out of the door.

3 nibbles:

I NEED that doorstop alarm. Every so often when I'm alone in my Toronto apartment I become convinced that someone is going to break in to murder me that night and I obsessively check the door to make sure it's really, definitely locked. If someone does break in I want to make sure the neighbors get no sleep that night.

I have one of those doorstop alarms. I also have a plan and a back up plan for almost all burglar related scenarios. It's important to BE PREPARED. D refuses to participate in the preparedness.

Rachel! I want to hear about your plans! He-Mouse won't participate in the preparedness either, that butt-face. Although when he's here I don't worry about it. I don't know why. When there's weird noises when he's home, I'm ALWAYS the one who has to go see what it is (invariably it's the toilet or a raccoon).
