Startled


Today I went out to corral my animals for their semi-annual visit from the vet. I took a bucket out with me that had the halters and the lead ropes in it. I noted that there were mouse dropping in the bottom. So I went to rinse the bucket out with a hose. The hose nozzle spurted water out forcefully creating a mist of water and mouse urine right in my face. I breathed in that nasty mist and it burned. Holy crap! All I can think of is hantavirus.

The vet laughed. He said it was nice knowing me and he promised to come to my funeral.

So much for my embarkment! Ha!
