I have had a very odd and stressful day here and when I get done crying over it I know I will be laughing....atleast I hope to be anyway.

There is a dang skunk that took my shed hostage so I can't put the mower back until he decides to vacate the premises......been trying to get him to come out off and on all freaking day.

The cats have tore a whole in my new/used braided rug and I am totally pissed.....sigh And then a cat barfed on it right after I patched it.....I totally give up on having nice things.......they are ruining my home!!!

I don't like animals at the moment and I am trying hard not to feel so damn overwhelmed......but guess what I and T TOTALLY OVERWHELMED and the animals are just the straw breaking the camels back here!!!

I feel like screaming and hollering until my head blows off but the windows are open because the air conditioning froze up yesterday and I am afraid if I throw a much needed hissy fit the neighbors will call the cops................I"M PISSED AND NEED TO VENT HERE!!!

Whoa girlie. That is a lot of crap going on. Can you just throw your hands up and go have a bubble bath and read a nice book?

Also, is it okay if I am smiling about the skunk in your garage? Sorry, but what are the chances of a skunk showing up AFTER the straw broke the camel's back. Really, it's priceless.

I hope everything settles for you soon.

I'm listening to some mindful videos and trying to keep a check on myself but my blood pressure is boiling because I have a headache too.

Have been in alot of physical pain lately and I think all the little stuff is catching up.......I need an operation on my left hand that I can't afford and it always hurts and it's all getting the best of me today. sigh Between that and my hips and back hurting too I am a mess!! Oh can't leave my foot out either......osteoarthritis blows!!!

Trying to keep breathing atm and the skunk was pretty cute but needs to find another home!!

It works for cats and might work for skunks. Spray ammonia and let it dry on the cement on it's own. The smell drives them away.

poor tats, i smell you my friend, i smell you!! big, big, hugs to you. I wouldn't know a skunk if it jumped up and bit me on the butt because we don't have them in this country so i cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through with that. all the rest though sounds like a regular nightmare. you come on here and we'll hear you scream and cry and roar and we don't mind at all. shout as loud as you like. I would (and do sometimes!) so avail of it. We can keep the volume down low!

Thanks everyone....my uncle is going to bring some traps over( good traps that won't hurt the skunk) and then once in there take him off to let him loose on his property in the country.

I am just hoping he shows up now!! If not I will try the ammonia, that was my first thought lastnight....and I smelled him creeping around the house lastnight it came thru the open windows.

I had a hissy fit/ meltdown lastnight hoping today is better.....still in alot of pain calling the ortho doc tomorrow though....

Wanted to say thanks for the support and allllll the great advice!!! You guys are the greatest!!! ox
