Just like most of what the media says is bullshit, so’s what you read online. Tom read a while back that female rats don’t kill mice like male rats do and that they often tend to them as if they were babies.

Wrong! I separated Lady, then stuck one of my duller-looking mice in with her as a test and she killed the mouse right away.

Now I wonder - are rats really pregnant for 3 weeks like mice? Are rats sexually active at 6 weeks like mice?

They’re out shooting this morning. I’m surprised by how often they shoot during the week.

Haven’t heard any booms lately. Ever since the first January, February, and March that we lived in this house, I haven’t heard them nearly as much. Perhaps that’s because my presence has brought in more people and it’s built up since then.

I’m shocked but pleased not to have had the cheeks disrupt my sleep yet, though he could come today or tomorrow. He wouldn’t wake me up, though, cuz I’d be crashing at the latest time he could be here. Or the latest he’s come as of yet, I should say. His earliest appearance has been at 10:00 and the latest has been at 2:45. I still think he’ll pop in during the long 3-week stretch in between reporting.

It really bums me out to have worked so hard, so consistently, and for so little. I’ve been working out nearly every day for months now, yet am the same weight/measurements I was the day I left jail. I think I deserve to see the results of all my hard work and that it’s high time I did.
