I thought I'd be smart and call the IRS at 7 am when they opened up. The person I spoke with (after waiting a few minutes) said she would transfer me to the correct department. I waited 30 minutes. When the person picked up the phone, I was disconnected yet again for the 4th time!!!!!!!!!!!
Terminix came out and found one mouse in the basement. He said it looks like they are getting in via the basement door. I called the main office and told them I paid big bucks for an exclusion. They said that I would probably have to pay again to have the spot taken care of. I said "no" that this should have been done the first time around. She is sending out an inspector on Wednesday to take a look. Sigh.
Breakfast - PB&J sandwich
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Meatball sub, mushrooms, green beans, banana
Dessert/Snack - Mini Moon Pie
Dinner - Chicken/Muenster sandwich, tortilla chips, blueberry yogurt
What did you eat yesterday?

Your dinner sounds yummy. Yes I'm not going to pay more for something that already should have been done.

Most of yesterday I had little time for meals. Breakfast was a banana and a ham sandwich on the run. Lunch was an apple and peanut butter on saltines. Bob came home with a pan of cinnamon rolls and we each had one before shopping. When we got back we had brats and baked beans and chopped spinach. Oui pina colada yogurt, too.

Mice will always find a way into a house. At our last house, we caught one or two every spring and fall... We just kept traps set around the house for them. When we caught one, Pretty would scream for me to empty the trap... We have two or three traps set around the kitchen in this house and have caught one mouse in 8 years here.
I ate a beef and bean burrito for breakfast and had two bananas and 3/4 of a peach for supper last night. I also drank a Black Cherry soda with the fruit.

Well, I can't stand the mice; and I paid a lot to have them kept out. I'm not paying anymore.

I am sorry you had to deal with that frustrating phone call with the IRS!
I agree you should not have to pay again for their neglecting to take care of it to begin with.

Maybe you can just get a general handY man to do it. Some of are quite good, and UlI am sure more affordable than Terminix.

What a frustrating day between the IRS and the mouse issue! Hopefully the inspector sorts it out properly this time without extra charges. Your meals sound good though – I haven’t had a Moon Pie. Yesterday I kept it simple with toast for breakfast, soup for lunch, and pasta for dinner.

Oh, how frustrating Linda! I share your frustration with having to call any utility or agency. I went through something similar with Cigna this week. Put on hold, long wait times, sometimes disconnected. It can ruin a good part of your day!
