I saw the skunk recipe. It's one I have, and if you don't have the enzyme stuff, it's the next best answer. I haven't had to use it so far, though Poppy may get a dose of that rather than regular shampoo when I make as much progress as I can with the enzymes.

My big news is that I paid off a personal loan this month. Since I had a bit of a payoff on one account, I used some of it to make two payments and that was the end of that 4 year loan. It was helpful, but it was very limiting (the interest was rolled in in advance, so there was no savings in paying it off early.) That's a big chunk of cash that is no longer tied up every month. But paying off a loan like that is probably good for the credit score, so I'm not complaining.

The kitchen is kind of a mess, because I did a fair amount of garden work today, staying mostly in the shade and coming in frequently to cool off (it hit 104). I'll take the kitchen trash to the curb after I clean up from dinner (my son came in late and is just now eating.)

That's about it. Skunks were front and center again. I blocked a gap in the fence where the gate is--I think that's how they were coming in.
