doronjosamaToday's battles were as follows:
--Elin versus the Rent: I won this battle and the rent shall be paid. Yay!
--Elin versus the Allergens: Benadryl helped me win this battle. Yay again!
--Elin versus the New Postage Pricing System: nobody wins this battle, except perhaps the post office. The new system reads like stereo instructions, much like the Beetlejuice Handbook For the Recently Deceased. I shake my fist in its general direction! And now lighter packages will somehow work out to have a higher postal percentage increases than heavier packages?! Buh-what?!
--Elin versus the Horrible Hallway of Cat Pee: nobody wins this battle either! Boo! Batty and Indy have decided the hallway that separates the front and back of the apartment is Ground Zero for weekly cat pee territory battles. I am constantly cleaning this one corner of the hallway nearest the door, and they continue to pee there. I have tried EVERY single cat pee "odor eliminator" and "enzyme remover" on the market, including all the ones that claim that they will make cats never pee there again (lies). I have tried every single carpet cleaner. I am currently trying a solution of white vinegar and baking soda that was on How Clean is Your House?, my new favorite show on BBC America. (The ladies on the show used it on a house that had something like six cats in it, and it supposedly worked.) The cats don't pee anywhere else in the house (well, except their assigned cat boxes), just this one corner of the back hallway. It's driving me nuts! (And yes, all three of the boys are fixed. Batty and Indy just really despise each other.) It really sucks because I don't want to live in a house of cat pee smell like a Crazy Cat Lady. (It's been unusually humid lately due to all the rain, so it makes the smell stronger. Ick, I know.) If anyone knows any actual stuff or tricks that really will remove cat pee odors down to the carpet padding, by all means, let me know.
We're still working on comics and the like. The usual grind. It's kind of sad, I am finding it harder and harder to get excited about comics lately, which is not a very happy-making thought. I probably need a vacation or something.
