It's Better if I Don't Accomplish Anything

No matter what I do, I always feel like there is a subtle odor of guinea pigs on my main floor. Today as I was putting away groceries I noticed an old container of rain shower scented carpet deodorizer (for pet owners!) that I had purchased way back when I always felt like there was a subtle odor of doggy in the house. How convenient! It seemed like there was an awful lot of carpet deodorizer left which was strange because we had a pet dog for three months and I vacuumed nearly every day to try to get rid of that subtle doggy odor.

Anyhow, I cleared the guinea pigs out of the play room and (ah-choo!) sprinkled the rain shower scented deodorizer on the carpet according to directions. The instructions said to let it sit for a few minutes so I went on to other things (ah-choo!) as I waited for the powder to do it's thing. By the time I came in to vacuum up the powder (ah-choo!) I couldn't help but notice the guinea pigs were climbing all over each other trying to gain access to their water bottle (ah-ah-choo!)

I checked to make sure the guinea pigs had enough water then kicked the vacuum on. As the powder became displaced, some into the air, (ah-CHOO!) my eyes started watering and my throat grew very itchy. (Uhhhhm, uhhhmmmmmm, ah-choo!) I hurriedly finished up my vacuuming and left the somewhat hazy room to get a glass of water while everything settled.

By the time I finished my water the overpowering rain shower scented carpet deodorizer had dissipated somewhat, so I moved the guinea pigs back into the playroom (ah-choo!) along with everything else I had moved out of the way. Once I was done, I peeked in at the guinea pigs and gave myself a satisfied little pat on the back for a job well done. Finally I had done something about that subtle guinea pig odor on the main floor!

Now instead of picking up the subtle scent of guinea pig throughout my house, I have the pleasure (ah-choo) of picking up the combined scent of guinea pig AND rain shower carpet deodorizer everywhere I go! Ummmmm.... Oh, and did I mention that I now have a sore throat?
