Boy, do I have a lot to write about! I just haven’t been able to cuz I’ve had major problems with my computer. It was down for two days due to a defective hard drive. Fortunately, though, Tom got it all squared away.

I checked out the word processor that Mary has. Yes, it’s got a lot more than just 16 colors which are all my word processor can display, but it’s got features that I don’t like so I probably won’t use it unless I’m printing out stuff.

Let me begin with the good news, then I’ll cover the bad.

Yesterday, we got a rat! I’ve named him Ratsy and he’s a Fancy rat, just like the mice are Fancy Mice.

Later…

Oh, fuck! I just stopped and jumped up to get the mail and we got a piece of the freeloader’s mail. So that means that the guy across W. Weldon got our mail. Fucking, motherfucking mailman! Why is he so fucking illiterate? Or does he just not give a shit? I don’t mind checking out the freeloader’s mail, but it’s more important that we get our mail instead, so as soon as I get another piece of that bitch’s mail is when I’ll be calling in my what? My 5th complaint? Well, they work for a while, so if I gotta bitch every few months to keep things going around here the way they should, then I guess that’s what I’ll do.

All the bitch got was a service plan on a washer. Whoopee!

Anyway, Ratsy’s a cutie and he’s pretty mellow. I really thought he’d be more active and a fast thing, too, but so far, he just sits around and moves slowly. He’s not desperate to escape like Tom said he’d be. His head and neck have brown fur and the rest is white. He does have a little dot of dark fur on his back, but that’s it.

Although he’s much bigger than a mouse, he can fit through the tubes. He’s long, but he’s skinny. His tail alone is longer than a mouse. It could wrap around my wrist. So, he’s got a straight tube and a wheel and is in a white wire cage with a fuchsia bass that’s one square foot. He has the same bottle Velvet has, but his is purple.

They say rats are smart and can learn their names and a variety of tricks. Wish I could teach him to make me coffee!

Well, I’m just too tired to get into all the other stuff I wanted to write about, but I will tomorrow. It’s too far toward the end of my day for me to think straight. All I’m good for doing for the rest of the day is computer games, music, and books.
