Why slippers are important

[wraithfodder]

Now that I'm done for a while with con reports, I can add an inane post to this LJ.

Slippers. Simple little things, but oh so useful.

Got up the other day (fell asleep watching TV). Didn't bother to turn on lights as I went for the door. I stepped on something in the dark that went CRUNCH. I went, crap, I just KNOW it's something the cat or dog left.

Turn on lights.

Squashed mouse.

EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

At least I know the cat killed it so I stepped on a corpse, but ick, gross. Thank god I put on slippers first.
