As you might have guessed from the title of this post, I am still dealing with the horrible odor. I found some odor destroyer foggers that I had used in the past. I stuck one in the wall from downstairs pointing up towards my bedroom and honestly for about 5 minutes or maybe a little longer I thought I had victory over this. Sadly the smell from the fogger faded and the odor returned.
When I went to close up the windows yesterday I had an encounter with a Brown Recluse. I believe I had one the day before based on the web I saw and the research I did. All I wanted was to get some air circulating in my house. I didn’t want to have to deal with spiders. The damn thing got on my hand and that made me scream like a little girl. It wound up in the sink and while it fought to get away I won and it got washed down the drain. One of those little fuckers could wipe out my Gator and could cause serious harm to me. I’d just as soon they stay on the outside of the house.
Yesterday afternoon I got on Amazon after work and looked for Odor Bombs. I’ve got 3 cans (one set) coming on Monday. I don’t have high hopes but maybe they will do the trick. I also bought 3 smoke/odor destroying candles that have a strong scent. They were delivered early this morning and while they smell really good thus far the only one that has a slight impact on this is the one in the living room under the candle warmer. It smells orangey which is 10 times better than mouse piss.
Today I headed out to a Home Depot to buy some odor bombs designed for the car, they should do the trick but I have set a couple of them off already and while I haven’t been upstairs yet I don’t have high hopes.
I did wake up early but I lacked motivation to get outside. I was hopeful that the candles would do their job but I honestly don’t know that there is anything on planet earth that is going to be able to cover this up. I could be to the point of rip and replace, which means moving time. However, I haven’t given up yet as I have been through this before. Once the weather turns much colder that should bring relief.
Funny thing is when I am in the car and the AC is on to me it smells slightly similar to the odor that is in the house. The garage smells fine and there hasn’t been any mouse activity out there. This could well be my imagination playing tricks on me. I bought a car air freshener but I honestly don’t like it. I am not about scents, I like normal non-scented air especially since I have allergies and the wrong smell can set them off. This mouse odor irritates my eyes and my nose.
Gator doesn’t seem to be bothered at all with the odor but I do think she senses that I am not happy. We spent the morning together lounging in my chair. She slept in between my legs and I eventually fell asleep in the chair. She woke me up and wanted some food. I got her back to the floor and fed her. Then I jumped back in bed because I was groggy. I really enjoy spending time with her, I know she appreciate it’s too. It is so comforting to me and warms my heart to see her all stretched out, relaxed and sleeping to the point of snoring just because she is in my lap and knows that she is 100% safe.
I am headed back out for cat food then I am driving for Mexican food. That sounds really good to me. Honestly kind of want to spend as much time as I can away from this place because of the odor.
Not to throw a pity party for myself but I do wonder what in the world I ever did to deserve all of the hell that I have been through and why it seems to keep happening to me. I am beginning to wonder if I will ever be reasonably happy ever again. I’m not talking walking on Cloud 9 but I’ll take that just as long as it’s not short lived. All of the crap I am going through kind of makes checking out a little attractive. I mean it’s not as if I really matter to anyone other than my employer and even then if I drop dead for whatever reason they would replace me.
On the upside I did finally get a match on one of the dating apps. I haven’t reached out to the guy and he hasn’t reached out to me. Making the first move or initiating contact always seems to be risky and you never know if you will be able to start up a conversation or if it will just be a couple of quick exchanges of hi, how are you and then silence. I’m honestly not up for games. I don’t have high hopes of finding someone before my subscriptions come to an end. I kind of think the dating app folks don’t want you to succeed so they can take more of your money. I mean think about it if you are successful then it really doesn’t benefit them. I realize there are new people that come along all the time to enter the single scene and to try to date but I would think that the overall strategy is once they have a subscriber to keep them for as long as possible. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think so. Everyone wants your money and they are just trying to figure out a way to get you to spend it.
I won’t say that I am 100% depressed today but I am not exactly in the best of moods. I’m going to get moving. Hopefully I can get Gator some decent food and have a nice short trip and some good food myself. I am at least going to try. Thinking salsa/salt and cheese with a slight kick. Beans & Rice and everything nice.
Hope your day is better than mine!
