That goddamn weird chemical smell that happens sometimes is back again. Faint and sickly sweet just like last time. Everywhere and nowhere. It drives me nuts and since I can’t figure out what starts it I don’t know how to prevent it. I was already having a hard time sleeping because I hurt my back so bad burying Sister that it still hasn’t healed. The fucking odor makes me almost wish I had Covid again so I couldn’t smell anything. Like, it would almost be better if it was a gross smell because growing up in a cattle town having the world smells like shit is normal to my brain whereas having it smell like some kind of chemically perfume drives me nuts.
There was a faint smell of death that even mom could smell before she left. I could catch a whiff of it too but couldn’t pinpoint the location. Usually that means something has died someplace in the house that we can’t get to. I think that maybe when that happens as the corpse rots it transitions into this sweet smell I don’t like, possibly from dying of poison rather than just being killed by a mouse trap. We avoided using poison in the past because of the danger it poses to the dogs but now that they are all gone. At least the ones who might try to eat a mouse, we put a little in places where traps don’t work. I could be completely wrong on that.
It’s very much the same smell and mom thinks it might be from crop dusting, but it’s never been like this in the past. Even when they got a little on the house it wouldn’t last for days.
All I know is it makes me feel slightly ill and disrupts my sleep. It’s probably slowly giving us all cancer too. Anyway, that’s all I have to report until Monday. I hope to see you here if the odor monster doesn’t get me.
