OF, DB, Soda & PF...thanks for all the good wishes. I think PF's comment that smooth sailing may be ahead is interesting. Here's soemthing curious from this morning.

My other half has been stockpiling a bit of canned food and some large bags of rice and beans. They are in a closet in his computer/HAM room. There is also instant food in bags for his HAM field day trips and hunting trips. Now, to the point. This morning I had to get into that closet to get a small metal safe. When I moved the safe, there were fresh, large, mouse turds behind it...on the shelf. I put the safe back. I emailed and called DH. I told him I cannot even begin to deal with that. No way. No how. He said he will handle it. I said fine. I know the weekend will be hell.

And, I was just beginning the carpet shampooing from Boo dog piddling accidents everywhere.

I'm so trying to not scream and use dynamite.
