6.070 pest, rehearsal

Wednesday 02/12/2025

Did the laundry, wrapped that up by 10am. Then went for a short run in the car, mainly to Safeway and Ace Hardware.

Something in the car smelt funny. Actually, funky. Have I left some food to rot? When I got back in the garage I looked around with a flashlight and found small black pellets, like black grains of wild rice, on the floor mats. I have a rodent! In my car. My car which I keep very clean. Kept very clean. The car with which I mean to drive with Joanne to a concert and dinner on Sunday.

Well, that’s something to do tomorrow. Get the car washed, including washing the floor mats — hmm I wonder if the car wash will be running, since rain is predicted. Wash or not, buy a couple of traps. Perplexity.ai says, droppings that size are probably from a mouse. So not big rat traps.

After lunch at 1pm I went to set up the auditorium for the Val Day show rehearsal at 3:30. Things worked pretty well, I only came away with 5 notes of things to change, and I sang well on my one number. But when I finally got everything shut down and put away it was 5:30 and I was bushed.
