I make no attempt to hide the fact that I'm a winter wimp. I dislike snow and dislike the cold and today it is frigid outside. Our morning temps are in the teens! Is it wrong of me to wish for spring when we haven't even started the winter season yet? How do people who live in places like Canada, Montana, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and the many other places do it? While I don't like the extreme heat either I would much rather endure the heat and humidity of a Virginia summer than the Artic Blast we're getting this week.
Last month the weather forecasters predicted a 50/50 chance of a mild winter to a cold and snowy winter. I joked with my husband that they covered their butts and no matter what type of winter we had they'd be able to say they predicted it. What a load! Those winter weather outlooks are a load of crap too; they give false hope to people like me who wish for a mild winter.
Oh well whining about the cold won't change the fact that I still have to walk my dogs and go to the store for toilet paper.

I can identify with your mousy situation. My cats are useless too. We had that darn mouse so long that he actually came out from his hole, and sat on his butt and watched me clean out the fridge. He sauntered away when I stood up.
Finally, poison got him.
Good luck with your book. Sounds like a great title. You're a wonderful entertaining writer :)
