Sleep in the lounge room. Get somebody brave to check it out for you tomorrow.

I saw a mouse scamper into my daughter's room one time (she was toddler then) I shut the door, picked up my kid and went to my mother's house. Rang my husband and told him I wasn't coming home until it's gone. He laid about 8 mice traps. That night he heard a snap and I came home the next day.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who would shut up shop and leave normally. But I really like being in my own space for sleep.

The update is, I psyched myself up and found that there was half of a dead mouse visible on the floor, I then psyched myself up and used a dustpan and brush to scoop it up which was by far one of the worst things I've had to do. For that I'm quite glad I found the nerve to check but at the same time, deeply regretful as the nausea from retching hasn't subsided.

You are brave. Make sure you reward yourself tomorrow. Good work.
