Bella’s Blog: A Day in the Life

Happy Birthday! Mindless Musings is One Year old! Hard to believe that this little blog was just a gleam in my eye just over a year ago. To celebrate, I am taking the day off. My hamster, Bella, is taking over.

 Huh…what? What’s going on? Goddammit, I was sleeping. Leave me alone! Yeah, I’m sleeping under the water bottle, what of it? Listen, do I come into your bedroom and wake you up in the middle of the night? No, I don’t. We need to synchronize our schedules. This isn’t working for me.


What? You want to clean my cage? There’s nothing wrong with my cage. It’s perfect! Keep your hands off it. Yeah, okay, better get on that, lady. It’s the only thing I really need from you, anyway. Oh, except for food. I need food. Especially if it’s Cheerios.

No, I don’t want to run around in my ball! Why are you always shoving that thing in my face? Get it out! And why do you keep calling me that stupid name? Boo-Boo? What the hell does that mean? My name is Bella. B-E-…oh, never mind.


Ah, she’s left me alone. Ah-ha. Let’s see what’s going on out here. Man, it’s bright.

Oops! Almost went over the edge. That would’ve been bad. God, I’m nearsighted. Look. She left her computer on.

Dammit! I can’t type! I can’t press the keys.


Let’s see. I think I need to use this mouse thing. Mouse. HA! Ignorant vermin. They’re not as cute as me.

Ah, I've got it, now.  If I click this...

 Oooohhh...aaahhh. Whoo, got to get a hold of myself. Let me see what’s on the TV.

Oh, Jesus Christ! These guys are always on her TV. How many @#$%^^&* cable channels does she have and she watches this crap day and night? She needs to get out more. Jeez Louise. I’m changing the channel.

Cities of the Underworld! YES! This show is THE BEST! Way better than that insipid Meerkat Manor.  Better set a reminder so I don’t miss it.




Well, hel-lo there. Now this is interesting. Come and burrow into my nest. Oh, yeah. I will ride around in your pocket any day, honey. Your pants pocket, right down – HEY!

Awww…put me down! Son of a bitch! It sucks being this small. If I were a guinea pig you wouldn’t do this to me. Okay, but it wouldn’t be this easy.

Oh, man. Now my cage smells funny. Is that lemon? I hate lemon. Hm, new TP. I suppose I'll have to do my bed all over again. It’s hard work, you know. It has to be just right. Might as well look in the food dish. She better have left me some decent food, at least.

Sunflower seeds, okay. She knows I don’t like these green things. Pumpkin seeds, good. The red crunchy things are good, I like those. No millet? What happened to the millet? Is this some kind of vegetable? Some fresh spinach would be nice once in a while. Would it kill you? Wait a minute…what’s this???

CHEERIOS!! OOOooooohhhh…yeeesss. She loves me. SHE LOVES ME!! Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found you! La, la, la, la, la, la, LAAAA!!!!

#1 WARNING SIGN OF CHEERIO DEPENDENCY: Eating Cheerios in secret - alone.
