Mouse and Rat

How can you tell the difference between a mouse and a rat? Rats are larger than mice, have blunt noses, thicker tails, and carry handy signs identifying their species.

Thanks to @ratsign on Instagram for letting me borrow his character for a comic! Go check out his amazing miniature artwork–you might spot a Lab Mouse hanging out with a buddy! (And you’ll see why I sweated over drawing R@ just right).

‘Tis the Season…

🤧

I’m finally on the mend after struggling with a cold for two weeks…once I get one, it just hangs on. I ought to use this as my Christmas card some year, since I always seem to get sick between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s the one holiday tradition I could do without. Stay healthy, everyone! ❤️

Happy 18th Birthday! Please read, sign, and date…

Lab Mice turned 18 this fall!

(Oh, did you think it was my 18th birthday? Nope–been there, done that, have the filing cabinet to prove it).

Perhaps it’s just because I’m annoyed about sorting through the piles of paperwork that I have neglected since 2018, but adulthood seems to be one endless ream of paperwork–virtual or otherwise. If you’re stuck on what to get for that newly-minted 18-year-old in you life, may I suggest a filing cabinet and some hanging file folders? Unless they happen to be an office supplies aficionado, they won’t actually appreciate it until they’re 35, but then they will be truly grateful when they unwrap a box of manila folders to complete the set.

A shredder and dedicated recycling bin would also be thoughtful gifts.

Now, I’m off to have a good cry over some pre-pandemic grocery receipts. I might have my favorites custom-framed.
