Dead Mice & San Francisco

So the other day I was taking the deposit to the bank for work. I got out of my car, slammed shut the door, and looked down at my feet. There was a dead mouse inches away from my foot. Now I realize this fear is completely ridiculous, and makes no sense, but I am terrified of rodents, which was only confirmed to me on this day. As soon as I saw the dead mouse, I was paralized with fear. I couldn't move or yell. I was afraid. I had a hard time breathing...until I convinced myself to step away. I nearly ran into the bank, although my breathing was still labored. Once inside, it occurred to me that I would have to walk beside the dead mouse to get back into my car. ARG.

I decided to get in through the passenger side, and climb over the gear shift and the e-brake. a lot better to do that in a skirt, thank to have to walk by that dead mouse again. Anyways, I think I've recovered. Although I can't get the picture of the dead mouse out of my head. I'm ridiculous.

Secondly, and obviously more important, we are going to San Francisco. Troy is going in 10 days, and I am going in 12 days. I can't wait. I've been wanting to go there for as long as I can remember, what a cool looking city. It turns out that Troy is being sent there by his work for a conference. I'm going to join up with him at the end of his conference, and we're going to do some exploring for several days. I'm thrilled.

We're going to do a tour of Alcatraz at night! How fun huh? I think it could be really freaky, but probably totally awesome. I booked our tickets for that last night. I'm totally excited!

Besides that...we're thrilled to have the long weekend here...not so much Labor day, since it means that the summer is nearly over, but I love long weekends, as does everyone I'm sure. This morning we're just lounging around, Troy is watching Soccer and I'm playing on here.

Anyways. Take care!
