The suspense...
Yes, the mouse story continues. He somehow ate the M&M out of the chewed-up piece of gum, while not leaving himself behind in the trap. But he did leave behind some serious teeth marks in the gum. So at least I can feel good knowing that I made him work really hard for his M&M meal.

He also still has not touched the poison 'dessert'. I'm beginning to take offense that he doesn't appreciate what I've prepared for him.

So today, I am in a place of contemplation and reflection about how to remedy the mouse situation. Clearly, I've been too hasty. I need to take time to listen and understand, then proceed.

Or else my head might explode because I'm so mad and frustrated with Algernon.
