For Chris:
Tilda has said that I need to clarify her efforts to control the rodent population--she is not just a lazy housecat. She views mice inside the house to be her problem and the mice under the house to be daddy's problem. She has caught and killed a mouse in the house when daddy unknowingly brought in the house inside a bird feeder he was fixing. She has also dispatched moles when they were trapped but still kicking. Niko kills all flying insects if they get in the house and will take on a spider if meomy screams very loudly. So it is unfair to blame the pest control issues on the cats (in Tilda's opinion).
DH has now re-sealed the cracks around the foundation to keep more from getting in, put the bird food into a big rubbermaid container, and has bought and set more traps. We have discussed the disposal of said dead rodents and he agrees that the woods is the place to send them, not the garbage can (since the garbage man left the mice in the bottom of the can!).
I am so sore from weeding most of the day, that I don't know whether or not I'll sleep tonight or be able to move tomorrow. Much more yard work to do still. I have school work to get back to as well for Monday.
Foodwise, on plan...ribeyes, mushrooms, & BBQ corn on the cob for dinner. Ham sandwich on wholegrain bread for lunch. Breakfast was an iced soy/breve latte w/sugar-free white chocolat syrup. No snacks.
