It is a good morning when...

... I find a dead mouse on the living room carpet.

It means I didn't find a dead mouse in my bed when I woke up.

This is what passes for optimism around here, is it?

[hypatia-j.livejournal.com]

Of course! "It could always be worse." is a Lutheran credo.

Other Prots seem to have it, too. Do you know the bit about Mark and the ninjas?

I think I must have missed that one...

It was a few weeks before our wedding, and markgritter confessed to being nervous about it. I said, "Oh, come on, what's the worst that could happen?"

Without missing a beat, he said, "Ninjas could break through the skylight, rappel down, and slaughter our wedding guests."

Equally quickly, I said, "That's why we invited Aaron."

But still: he is always prepared to think of a worse thing that could happen if ninjas were added.

Heh. I tried explaining why I was laughing so hard just now to smferris but he doesn't know Aaron.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

That does seem to help, yes.

I figured we might have a mouse somewhere this morning. I heard a food dish go scittering late last night, followed by a cat leaving the bedroom to investigate the ruckus.
