Keep Calm and Carry On

After not watching ER for several years, I've been drawn to it this evening - lured you might say by the promise seeing George Clooney, Eriq laSalle and Noah Wyle and ten minutes in, I'm not disappointed. Ah those were the days... A cast to be reckoned with - and we have Susan Sarandon to boot. And speaking of trauma, it's been a bit of a traumatic week at home really, but some of those issues are being resolved so it's calming down.

First there was the mouse incident. We saw a mouse scurrying back and forth at different times during the day so traps were set and a mouse was caught. A day or so later we realised that there was another one so it was caught too. This morning we discovered that we had more rodent visitors on the kitchen counter, as evidenced by droppings and missing peanut butter which had been left out to see if there were any more four-leggged visitors. I spent the morning scrubbing the counters and have now cleared them off all but the bare minimum of appliances. Hopefully we'll be able polish off the rest of them tonight. I know I know, my animal-lover friends will say that we should be more humane in our disposal of the mice but I'm not really prepared to deal with them and hubby prefers the trap method - and death is instantaneous.

In light of the week I've just had, I'm thinking of ordering something with the slogan I've used for today's title. The poster is a bit too big to be of any practical use in my house, but Im rather drawn to the idea of buying a mug or some other small item. You can see it here.
