Karmic balance

On the way home tonight I sat next to an elderly woman who at one point asked me where we were. We had a talk and decided that she had missed her stop. I then got off at the next station and helped her find the right train to get to where she wanted to go. All the while with her telling me that I was just like her son and that she wanted me to come over to her house to meet her daughters. ;-) Anyway, karma up for that.

When I got home I went karma negative by throwing a road flare into a plastic box with the mouse Lori and Oso caught in it. I figured the carbon monoxide would lull him into a sleep and death. But instead he foiled my plans by straying too close to the flame and ultimately shed his miniature mortal coil in a slightly less elegant fashion. Big karmic minus.

So I guess I'm karmic negative for the day. But helping the old lady did feel good.

I don't think you are karma negative re: the mouse. Your intentions were humane, despite the results.
