Rat Update

5:43 am. I put on jeans, socks, sneakers and a hooded sweatshirt (hood UP of course, he would probably land in my hair otherwise). It was pretty warm (the temp is in the 80s). I went into the kitchen with my back to the wall and slid along the wall to my balcony door. I opened it. I slid along the other wall to my mop. I picked up my mop. With my mop I started prodding various objects in hopes to scare it out of its hiding spot. My plan was to scare it from its hiding spot and out to the balcony, at least then it would be outside. (What? You had a better plan?!)

It did not work, mostly because he is back hiding, somewhere. Probably in a rat's nest with his rat friends.

There is a hole in my wall in my kitchen that leads to....I don't really know where, I'm quite certain that's how he got in. I'll call my landlord later today and have him come take care of it (in whatever way one "takes care of" such things).

So. This is Peace Corps life.
