Day 18: January 18, 2011

Last night, I woke up at about 2:00 am smelling what I thought was burning rubber.  I thought it was my humidifier malfunctioning.  Or maybe it was the furnace.  I couldn't figure out what it was.  At 4 am, I turned off my humidifier, and the smell went away a little.  When I woke up in the morning, I could still smell it.  It was stronger on my end of the house, especially in my bathroom.  I could not figure out where I was coming from.  I had to leave for work, so I sent a text to Melissa and went on my way.  She sent Donna over here to check it out, and guess what!!  It was a skunk.  It sprayed underneath the house...apparently on my side.  Great.

But here's the question...why did I think it was burning rubber?  Why didn't I recognize that it was a skunk?  Weird.  For awhile I thought I had a brain tumor and I was smelling burning feathers.  But that's just my hypochondriac tendencies coming through.
