The Old Folks Home

[chickadoodles]

We had a skunk-cident early this morning. BF got home around midnight. I was still up, but barely. He slides into bed about an hour later and then 10 minutes later we're assaulted by this smell. Best I can tell a skunk got into a fight with something (probably another skunk for the smell of it) under our bird feeder station which is right next to a window (for cat and human enjoyment).

The whole house had a concentrated skunk smell. It was impossible to sleep.

I'm having company in an hour.

My life is fabulous.

you need some of that order neutralizer spray. Oh man we have had it here. I am so sorry.

Terrific - the rooster has come back from wherever BF's clothes have now disappeared to? Not sure that's an improved situation.

I know - maybe this is one of those "alien abduction" situations. They brought back the chicken, and took the skunk. Bet they never do that again!

Ok, time to stop having such a fabulous life!

I know, right? This is an unexplored niche. Maybe we could start selling Skunk-breeze, to spray cautiously around the house prior to your unwelcome company.

However, my life is fabulous. While the house smells like a conglomeration of skunk-pocalypse and Yankee Candle Heaven, a few minutes ago my lovely BF walks down the hall (stark naked, mind you, and yes, company will be here in less than 10 minutes) and asks me where I found my rooster.



I have no idea what he's been up to the last 2 days but either he was resurrected or he's channeling my pumpkin that left last fall and then returned a few days later.

Oh man, I forgot how you can crack me up. Visual anyone?

I meant visual on all of the smelly candles burning in her house, and, her spraying anything with a pleasant smell.

Tomato sauce candles maybe...??
:-D

That would be a good one for sure!

Maybe someone with hens and no rooster needed to "borrow" him for a couple of days for some fertile eggs. Nice that he is back, whatever the reason!

I think he probably walked off and maybe got chased by something.

The skunk situation has not significantly improved. It's still the battle of Yankee Candle versus Skunk-pocalypse.

The worst part is apparently when the skunk sprayed and it hit the house it also hit the house where my exhaust is for the dryer. My entire wardrobe for work was basically in there. I can re-wash the clothes and get the smell out but unfortunately I have 2 options from there: back in the dryer or hung to dry. Both options stink. Literally.

And I have to work all weekend.

Laundromat for drying? is it an option?
