the couch is in good shape

[mellowtigger]

I woke up early this morning to a bad dream. It was centered on my new job. The dream was an unrealistic situation, so I won't get into it other than to mention that my subconscious is still focused on this new experience.

Instead, I keep forgetting to relate a little good news, very small in the grand scheme of things. I mentioned last year that I would FreeCycle my couch on the front porch, and I did. Nobody took it, though, so it still sits on my front porch. Later, I posted about letting cats use my porch during a bitter cold spell. What I never mentioned is that the very next day, my front porch smelled strongly of cat urine. :( I never could find the source of it, and neither could my cat after sniffing around the couch cushions repeatedly. I hoped without evidence that they had peed underneath the porch on the frozen ground, and that's what I was smelling for weeks.

I'm happy to report that as soon as the ground thawed, the smell immediately disappeared. It seems they had used their bathroom under the porch, so I'm still using the sofa for brief breaks to unwind after work. Yay. A little good news. :) Take the wins where you can get them.
