Adventures with Morty

This morning I exited our house through the garage only to find a puddlish mound of animal droppings dead center outside the door. Yek. I looked to the left to see all the garbage shredded to pieces. A few weeks ago, we had shredded garbage and thought an animal must have just come in for a snack. However, it looks as if it may have taken up residence now.

Let's call the little bugger Morty.

This may sound like just a nuisance, but for a girl who's whole life is packed in boxes that are stored in the same said garage, it can be a bit nerve wracking. I can only imagine what Morty is doing to all my housewares. Just stay away from the kitchen gadgets Morty otherwise we're going to be in a big fight!

The joy in all of this (I'm always looking for the little joys of being 25 and squatting with your parents) is that when I saw the Morty puddle, I just ran back in the house and told my dad about the problem. Then I promptly left the scene of the Yek and went to the library to write my last paper for the semester. When you're a girl on your own, you have to deal with the puddle. When there are others more senior than you....you can alert and move on.

I hate small rodents that chew things up and leave their YEK in not so nice places. I hope your Morty hasn't found your boxes-o-stuff!
