a nose for trouble

do you smell that?


i don't have any pets, but lately i've been smelling dog shit and cat piss in my car and house, respectively. not all the time. but about twice a week. and the dog shit smell is always in the truck. and the cat piss smell is always in the house.

i didn't think much about it the first time i smelled dog shit in the truck. virginia and i both smelled it, and assumed that someone must have stepped in some. my shoes were clean, so i figured after dropping her off at home, the smell would clear up. and it did. until the next day. but then after that, i didn't smell it again until the day after i first noticed the cat piss smell in my house.

i came home from a run to discover the cat urine smell. i immediately began thinking that a cat must have snuck through one of the crawl space doors and was now living and pissing under my house. which means i'd have to go down there again. which means dealing with you-know-who again. for a while, i had the same worried-why-me face that i wore as my doctor counseled me concerning my recent bout of athlete's head. but then, hours later, the smell was gone. until this morning.

i'm pretty sure the smells are real. i sort of hope they are. i mean, what does it say it about someone who would imagine these kinds of smells? i just wish that at least they'd be a little more consistent.
