I dared to open the windows to get some fresh air through here and some chud is smoking pot somewhere which is getting into my apartment. The building is non-smoking so there's two party fouls going on and they both smell like skunk ass.

I don't really do specific music for cleaning. If there's nothing on for general background noise, I might turn to the soundscapes channel on TV or a lofi channel on youtube just for something. Marathons of 'Hoarding: Buried Alive' playing in the background make me feel better about whatever stupid mess I'm fighting with though. I may have just dealt with an entire army of invasive cat toys the kitten has scattered around the room like land mines waiting for an unsuspecting foot to find them but at least I don't use a 5 gallon bucket in a hallway as a toilet.

Dried lavender as a carpet deodorizer and a cinnamon clove spray in the back of the bookcases by the wall. When I build the shelves, I don't put backs on them so I'm able to get behind them for a more thorough cleaning just by removing all the books in that particular section. I have a pet human skull named Toothless George that can do the gatekeeping just fine.

If it makes you feel better, you don't have to remove all shelved books/items twice a year to clean on and around them to keep the spiders away.

I have my own library. I think it's nearing 3,500 books with a healthy collection of comics as well. It's no living on the top of a building stuffed full of books but I wouldn't mind that. Actually the last time I was there I only bought two books too. I only stopped briefly because it was threatening to rain and they had the latest Dresden novella and the final volume of 'Jujitsu Kaisen'. The last time I was at my favorite used bookstore, however, I got ~30 books because....books.

Please. If they can survive me showing up, your two tiny books about poisoning and murder mean nothing.

Attention Bellatoria. Don't call it 'Ultimate Pepperoni' unless the pepperoni in question has to be overlapped in order to fit on the little personal pizza. It's a LITTLE pizza, it shouldn't be that hard to include more than 8 tiny circles.

My apartment flooded last night. I'm soooo tired and the whole place is an absolute disaster. I was so close to getting everything put away from the bedroom closet shelves breaking too. I need to win the lotto.

Blue food coloring in general doesn't break down at all. Fun story - I solved the case of who/what destroyed the bathroom at WS after seeing the aftermath for 0.01 seconds. It was the person who ate the piece with the biggest buttercream BLUE rose on Chris' Happy Vasectomy cake. Kind of surprised they didn't need an inflatable pillow on their work chair after that bomb went off.

^^^ Me: I need to buckle down and balance all my ledgers/pay the bills before I go forth and buy more stuff. Also Me: HOLY CRAP! CHEWY HAS THOSE RUBBER LIZARD THINGS THAT BABY KITTEN LOVES TO DECAPITATE! *buys 6 of them.

It was 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins'. You have to say the whole thing or it doesn't count! Also, the tv weighed like 600 pounds and had a pull knob to turn on. You had to wait for the tubes to warm up and the screen started with a tiny dot in the center that slowly got bigger.

Moved so we can continue to push the 'When I was YOUR age' scenarios that make us feel young again. Ovaltine. That is all.

I don't haz Kindle books [ I have over 3000 physical books in my library ]. But have you read anything by Caitlin Rozakis? She only has two books out under that name so far with a third on the way so it won't be like someone suggesting a writer with a million books out to pick from. 'Dreadful' is about a Dark Wizard who wakes up with zero memories, a princess locked in the dungeon, and a castle staffed by goblins. 'The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association' is about a mom who has to move her entire family to a new town and try to figure out how to fit in while also dealing with an elementary school aged...werewolf. The third book is called 'Startup Hell' and set in the same universe as the Grimoire Grammar School.

Fling peanut butter blobs into their yards. Or wait until the middle of the night when they are likely asleep including their humans and then blow the crap out of a dog whistle. A few nights of that and their humans will be looking into ways to shut them up. I'm so tired lately. I hate humans. They keep getting dumber and everyone seems to think that retail spaces are actually just daycare/greycare centers with extra stuff to knock over.
