Day 87 of 166 days

It is freaking cold out!!!!

And I can't find the cord in my car for the block heater. Its a new car and I have never had it through a winter before, so I have never plugged it in, and I searched for about half an hour yesterday to find it couldn't find the damn thing. I tried googling it, and everything I read said it would be behind the headlight on the right side, so I go back out to look, again nothing, I checked everywhere I could reach/look, pulled on every cord (not too hard, don't want to unplug something important lol) and nothing.

Im gonna try calling Kia again today to see if they can tell me why I am so blind. I tried yesterday cause I SHOULD have had it plugged in last night, but I could never get through to anyone.

I went out this morning to make sure my car would start, and it did... but it took a little bit.

I HAVE to plug it in tonight.

Its so bad for the car to let it get that cold thick oil is a no no.

So if Kia tells me where it is and I cant find it, Im driving the 40 minutes, so they can show me and pull the cord out for me lol

Its gonna be -40 degrees celcius tonight with the windchill!!!

WI day was yesterday. And even though it was my TOM I am pleased to say I was down 2.2lbs this week :) woot!
Only 1.6lbs to go to get back to where I was before the holidays!
I think I can manage that this week.

I am also pleased to say today is my 9 year anniversary with Rob <3

...he's at work of course. But will be home next Tuesday so hopefully we can do something special then.

I am NOT pleased to say there is a mouse in my house!!! This morning Aiden told me he thinks he saw something run across the room and then back and then went behind the couch. I said "What do you mean you THINK you saw it? If you saw it enough to know it ran across the room TWICE you must have actually seen it!?" lol

Then he says well I think it was a mouse or a rat....

Ok well we don't have rats here and if you saw a rat Im sure you would have freaked out a little more than you did lol

So Im up on a chair.

Im trying to see where he told me it went.

Im trying to move stuff with my feet while still being up.. on a chair.

I am still asking him questions because at this point even though I am up on a chair and scared, I only half believe him, because he isn't certain he saw it, he THINKS he saw it..... lol still confused.

Anyways. so I'm calming down a bit, if there is a mouse its more afraid of me than I am of it...right!?

I move the couch, nothing, I make loud noises while I'm moving other things, nothing.

So I ask him again, "Did you see it through the corner of your eye, or did you look right at it? How do you not know if you saw it or not!?" lol

He says "I saw it through the corner of my eye."

I get off the chair.

I tell myself maybe there is no mouse.... ok, yeah! There is no mouse.

"I don't think there is a mouse in here, lets all just calm down!!" *shifty eyes*

I go about my morning.. making sure to watch my feet and keep them up off the ground if I am sitting.

Aiden goes to school, I'm in the bathroom brushing my teeth and Atreyu yells to me " MOM THERE IS A MOUSE!!!"

I run out to the kitchen, he is up on the couch in a little ball lol and pointing into the kitchen....

He says it ran behind the garbage can. He was actually certain of it, he said it was grey and had a tail...*shivers* ughhhhh.

I look behind the garbage can, nothing.. so I look along the walls/cupboards. And notice where the dishwasher is there is some insulation coming out from beside it....

FFS!

When we removed the old dishwasher it was attached to some wood, extra pieces of wood that aren't part of the cupboards. so when we put the new one in there was enough insulation and what not that it didn't seem to NEED the wood.

Well, I guess it does need the wood :(

Robs not home for a week. I can't fix this.

For the time being I shoved a bunch of towels and cloth in there, but its a mouse, maybe more than one mouse I have no idea, and they can chew things and move things, and ughhhhh.

/cry

The only comfort I have is that it probably wont come out again when we are around making noise and stuff. So I will go buy a mouse trap and  set it up for at night.

Oh yeah and more news. 

WE ARE GETTING A KITTY.

This wasn't a decision made after I realized we had the mouse fyi lol

I picked one of my friends kittens out the other day and told her I would have to talk to Rob about it. SO I did and I let him have a day to think it over.

He said yes, I think he more so just knows im lonely and I have been wanting one for soooo long he finally just gave in lol

Here he is.

Im naming him Poe, after Edgar of course <3
