A mouse ate my ear buds! For real--I have the evidence! Last night, I kept hearing a crunching noise--as if something was being eaten! Turns out something was being eaten--the pair of ear buds that I use with my computer!

When I awoke this morning, I found that something had gnawed off the soft plugs on my ear buds--and had chewed through the ear bud wires in several locations! The jack was still inserted into the audio on the computer--but I had dropped the end with the buds on the floor. That's where the damage was done--to the soft plugs and the wiring.

Why the ear buds? Who knows--maybe mice have an ear wax fetish! The bigger question--where did the creature come from? My room (and ear buds) are at the opposite end of the house--a long way from the kitchen which is where we think there has been mice activity.

I do have a few energy bars and my chocolate stash in my bedroom--but they are not easily accessible since they are up high from the floor. I still have a stack of boxes in the room--stuff I haven't yet sorted through (it's only been a little over a year)! I guess I have to start going through everything--to determine if there is a secret mice hideout being created. I have to watch my ear buds carefully--a new pair costs $20!
