An update, a tip, and apathy
The Update
We haven’t had any mice in over a month. At least I haven’t seen any. This can only mean two things. Either they are not getting into the apartment anymore or Rachel has taken to eating mice.
The Tip
I bought a bunch of triangle buns from Costco (my Costco peeps will know what I’m talking about) back in November. It’s now February and they are very dried out. I am unable to bite into them. Being the cheap ass that I am I refuse to throw them away. My first attempt was to put the bun in the microwave for a minute and then eat it really fast while it was still hot. I failed miserably as half way through it felt like I was eating rocks.
My 2nd try was to cut the bun in half (which required a very sharp knife) and then toast it. This worked out surprisingly well. I had to toss a bunch of pickles on it but besides that, very edible.
My 3rd and final try worked best. I sliced the bun up into really thin slices, put it in a frying pan and then added 3 eggs. The bun slices absorbed all the egg goodness and became super soggy. Mission accomplished. How can eating 3 eggs not be healthy for me?
The Apathy
I woke up a little early today. I dragged my body over the office room and heard some loud ringing sound. I wasn’t quite sure what it was at first but finally realized it was a fire alarm. I’m not sure about you guys but I’ve never been in a real fire. It’s always fire drills. OMG there is a fire, you better get outside. Ahhh just kidding, I peed on your chair while you ran outside. I’ve become completely desensitized to fire alarms. My first reaction was that someone just wanted to steal my stuff if I was to leave the apartment. My 2nd reaction was that it seemed like a lot of work to go outside. Not to mention it would be cold out.
So did I leave the apartment? Nah. I figured if the fire came into our apartment I could find an alternative exit. Instead I sat in the kitchen eating my toast. It took 30 minutes before someone got the fire alarm turned off. Besides being super annoying I think that’s all it accomplished. I did see some suckers standing outside in the cold while the alarm was on. Apathy (maybe stupidity?) for the win.
