So in case you were wondering, the smell went away, and I never found a mouse. (Much to my relief). I am pretty sure it was just the trash.
Funny how being tired, even when you don't recognize the fact that you are utterly exhausted that you can hardly handle the simplest of tasks. Like getting in the shower...and forget laundry that is going to have to wait another two weeks (better hope you have clean underwear, and enough things to wear to work.) You go to work, you come home you try to chill out for an hour, you realize you have to eat, but you really don't have the energy to cook, even though you like to, so you find something to eat, go back to your room, check your email, pay your bills, go to bed and start all over again at 5:30 am...beep...beep...beep...snooze.... Fortunately for me, my alarm goes off every 5 minutes so that you have to get up eventually...or unfortunately? Its obnoxious, but I wouldn't make it to work otherwise.

Pause (beause since I started these thoughts it has been several days, and many things have since transpired.)
Exhaustion. Get up, go to class or work or a combination of the two, 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. I come home around 3:30 usually so tired I don't think I can do anything. The funny part is that at like 9am, after the coffee kicks in I am wide awake and making a list of all the things I need to get done. Also wishing that I was not in class so that i could do them, since everything is open at 9am. By the time I get home at 3:30 I am so worn out, and tired, all I want to do is sit and watch a movie. Talk about lazy. I feel so lazy, I don't want to do the dishes, the laundry, make food, eat food, tidy my room, or even move the pile of junk off of my bed so that I can get into it by 9pm. I, am an old woman. Thats right, at the ripe old age of almost 23....tomorrow...
I am sorry to have left you in suspence about the mouse for so long. But be reassured that Rainbow brite will be included in my future stories. I think there was a lot more I wanted to write here...and add to this, but it has been almost a month now since I started it and I can't remember what I had in mind, and so much has happened since then, that I shall leave it as is, and start a fresh one sometime when I have time to write an entire post.
Goodnight sweethear well its time to go...
