epic struggle continues

Caught another mouse under the refrigerator this evening. Getting the trap out from under there was a challenge, but I managed, and I put in another service request to say (a) can someone lay another trap under my fridge please because I can't do it by myself and (b) OMG MICE WTFF. But then I was complaining to my mother about how there keep being MICE IN MY KITCHEN and she was sympathetic but not really all that fussed; she feels that there is almost no way to ensure that mice will never get in one's kitchen, and the only thing to do is keep the place clean and set the traps and go on with one's life, and count this as a win. She was much more concerned to hear that I've got a sinus infection (which, in turn, I've stopped considering a big deal since I'm taking the medicine and moving on with my life).

I suppose I may eventually become more philosophical. Right now I am still at MICE IN MY APARTMENT DO NOT WANT.
