A big oil truck parked outside my window for several hours last night, with its motor rumbling. The smell was terrible. Well, actually, it was a nice, rich oil smell, which is not a bad smell in itself, but not nice when it's filling your bedroom. I kept dreaming about old, leaky oil heaters.
And then the cleaning crew left their mark in the hallway--not a nice clean, fresh smell, but one that smells exactly like a cat litter box. I'll have to live with it for a couple days till it subsides. They rotate their air fresheners, so some weeks it's a decent smell, and other weeks it's catbox odor. I keep my door shut tight, but I can still smell it. There's no way to get rid of it and I can't think of any way to cover it up except by cooking cabbage, which would be only a slight improvement.
Maybe some berry pie? But I don't have any berries. Boil some Kool-aid? Don't have Kool-aid. Burn candles? Don't have any. Sprinkle laundry detergent on the floor? Put a bag over my head? Go for a long, long walk? Buy a disposable barbecue and burn it in my living room?
