In an attempt to beat the
rains so that I could complete the patching of my swimming pool, I bought some
quick set concrete. I am not that familiar with quick set concrete, but I'll
tell you, it sets quickly. I simply was not going to take another chance on my
patch job being ruined by the rains again. I mixed the concrete per the
instructions, and then toddled on down into the pool with my bucket. It became
apparent that I wasn't moving fast enough when I found that the trowel was
already stuck in the quickly setting concrete. I managed to dig it out and
proceeded to do my patching. Unfortunately, I was not able to do a very pretty
job. When I was all done the patches kind of reminded me of cookies. They
looked like my mom's oatmeal cookies, all rough and out of shape. Whatever,
I'll just buy a grinding attachment for my drill and grind them down.
After working on the swimming
pool I went back in the house and sat down in front of my computer, but not
until I went into the sun room and opened the windows, went into the kitchen
and got myself an iced tea, and popped into the bedroom for a moment to talk to
Mark. Later, as I sat there scrolling through Facebook, and leaving clever
comments here and there, I noticed a foul odor. It wasn't dog farts, nor was it
dog shit. I checked my arm pits. They smelled like roses with a hint of musk, perfect
as always. What the hell was that god awful smell? I checked my shoes and there
it was, cat shit. I had forgot that the cat buries her poo all over the back
yard with special attention paid to the area around the hose spigot. I had been
over there washing out the bucket I had used to mix the concrete in (It was too
late, it already had set in the bucket). As I moved through the house with the
stinky shoe in my hand, I noticed that the smell of cat shit was everywhere.
Well not everywhere, just in the living room, sun room, kitchen, and bedroom. I
had tracked the shit through all of those rooms and Chandler was ecstatic as he
followed behind, gobbling up the delicious morsels.
