Duh.

Not eating breakfast makes the rest of the day suck.

So why do I keep doing it?

*grumbles*

Fun with the rat

So, I have this rat. And he's in a small aquarium (which I'm going to replace pretty soon) and he gets bored.

So I found a fairly large, sort of flat box, and I taped up the sides so they're high enough that he can't get out easily. And I stuck things in it. A glass jar, on its side. One of my sneakers. A low basket with a lid. A couple of rocks. Some clothespins, and a small ball. And I put him in it.

He's running around in there having the time of his life. Currently he's nibbling on a dog treat I put in there for him to find, but earlier he was trying to figure out the glass jar (mostly by climbing into it and rolling it around), and before that he was playing with the ball.

*grins*

I need to think of different things to put in it for him to play with. I should probably put in a water dish, too, if I'm going to leave him in there for a while.

Only problem is I have to lock the cats out when Siegfried is in the box, and they get grumpy. But...they'll live.

'Cos isn't life just like that?

And of course just as I finally decide to walk away from the computer for the day, having had Quite Enough, the muse leaps up, knocks me over, and now I'm writing that scene in Chapter 2 of Pairs, the one that needs all the work.

*gives up*
