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.
My cat caught a mouse in the backyard and brought it inside and straight into my bedroom and my mum just straight up shut my door, which I get as she is deathly afraid of mice. I haven't been back into my room, I don't know if the mouse escaped in my room or is dead, or escaped half dead and is now dead in one of the 500 nooks and crannies of my bedroom full of stuff and I don't really know what to do, I'm exhausted after a day of gardening and I really don't want to go on a mouse search right now but I know I have to. I'm just here to complain and seek comfort.
Edited to add: my cat is only allowed in the backyard when I am around to supervise, we had a previous mouse problem but had dealt with it.

Going to after work drinks tomorrow night and the problem with my job is that I educate germ filled toddlers who have the snottiest noses so my preference is to change my clothing regardless of whether snot ends up on the clothing or not. So do I wear a sweater dress and take another sweater dress to change into, or do I wear jeans and a top to work and then take a replacement pair of jeans and a nice top to put on. The dress is perfect for ease and speed, the jeans are sort of practical and more casual but not sure why. If someone could unscramble my thoughts and make a decision for me, I'd appreciate it.
I got a great hair cut, but my hairdresser curled it so much it somehow looked like I had more hair then before (but I trust him) and now that I've washed it, I can say, there is significantly less hair and my trust was well placed.
There's a $20 return fee, I did it all through the Uber app, so he gets the full amount. Once I'm paid I'll add tip as well.
I left my earphone case in the back of an Uber yesterday morning, didn't realise until I got home last night because I thought I'd left the case at home, I also had been wearing one earphone. Lol. Luckily I called the driver and he had the case (and the other earphone) and he made it to South Melbourne tonight and dropped them off to me.
Wow that must have been so truly awful for you to go through. I'm so sorry that happened.
Thank you for such sound advice, she has just left again, so I will keep an eye on things and note down that she stayed for as long as she did.
Also tonight is babies first adult dinner party. I bought the host flowers with a vase because I can't turn up empty handed.
Yeah, it's a bit concerning both for our own safety, our neighbours, and hers, she's clearly not mentally sound and no one is helping her. It's frustrating that we have to wait for an incident or a threat before the police will do anything.
There's a person loitering outside my neighbours place (and mine on and off) and she's clearly not in her right mind, she apparently took photos of my neighbours children and was asking about them. The police did a welfare check but have said she's definitely suffering mental health issues but as she's not threatening anyone, there's nothing they can do. Hopefully she just moves on eventually. She left at one point and said "I'm hungry, I'm just going to get some lunch and come back" and then walked up the road and then came back.
That would genuinely be the absolute best! I wish that was an option. I found the courage and energy to check, I found half of a dead mouse on the carpet (the other half I'll assume is in my cats stomach) and I disposed of it whilst fetching heavily. I will be second guessing ever letting my cat out in the backyard ever again.
