Ah, the welcoming stench of death

[hiyacynth]

So, as I always do even though I hate myself every single time I do it and vow I'll never do it again, I took the 6 p.m. flight from California last night. You know, the one that gets into Chicago around midnight, and doesn't get me home until after 1 a.m. But last night's homecoming was even worse than usual, because the minute I walked into my

Sympathies gratefully accepted! I also freaked out about Minou when I stepped in, because Scout was right there, but Minou didn't come out right away, and I knew the smell instantly. But they're fine. Just unhappy with the stench of rot and death.

Ugh. This is so gross. I have to go do it now. I don't wanna.
