I'm Back

I'm home. The house smells and is a mess. There are towels draped all over furniture in the back yard and someone, I think, is trying to mow the lawn, but I'm too tired to face my landlord and I haven't yet talked to the Butcher and I want to present a unified front. So, I'm hiding here at the computer. Will it smell like this forever? God, I hope not.

Welcome back!

The house might smell like that forever, but the body has a curious way of adapting to unpleasant smells so that the brain doesn't even acknowledge them after a while.

That's only comforting if you're as averse to cleaning as I am.

Oh, lord. I didn't read the flood post before this one. I just thought you were talking about regular not-home-for-a-while stink. But flood stink? That's a whole different ballgame, and I can only root for your good luck, because I have no suggestions and
I like to curl up into a ball, rock back and forth, shake my head and hum when things go awry. Useless!

Get a dehumidifier. The take away the excess moisture, and eventually the musty smell.

Or else just let the litter box go, and soon the powerful ammonia stench will cover up the musty.

Prof,

You more than anyone know the difference between the stink we usually put up with and this stink.

Peg,

I love the litter box idea! Do you read Loretta's blog--Gone Feral? Because, I swear, I think that idea moves you right to the top of the feral heap.
