On my the right side of porch in my yard I have a cat shelter, 2 food bowls and a water bowl (also another cat shelter way back at the rear of the yard). On the left side is the A/C unit. I put food and water out every night which is really meant for the stray cats but everything comes out to eat the food. There is really no way for me to prevent a certain animal from another of coming to feed. Besides, I really happy to provide for them all. I won't stop feeding them especially now that they depend on me to an extent. I have security cameras around the outside of my house and one is in the yard, I enjoy watching them, it's crazy how they actually get along with one another, well most of the time, lol. The cats seem to get annoyed with the very persistent possums. I love the raccoons though, they are always washing their hands as they eat with their hands. Also really cool is possums carrying their young on their backs. I have been doing this for a couple of years. It's mostly the possums wanting to climb around the a/c unit. Once it is on they'll stay away though. Hopefully it'll be ok, if not I guess I will have to call the HVAC guys to come and fix it and then I'll get it completely fenced in and on top so they animals can't get near it. Fingers crossed, looks like Wed I will be turning on the AC. Weather shows Wed 79 degrees and Thurs/Fri 86 full sun all 3 days. Is this you? I’ve never seen a raccoon get along with a stray cat. 2 of them killed a stray cat my mom was feeding but she was able to take in the strays kitten at least. I WISH! haha. Never seen that many at once, I think 3 at most. Never had an indecent yet besides some cat hissing at the others and some chasing/growling between the possums. One time at the rear of my yard I found a dead possum. Didn't have any injuries that I could see. I felt so bad. I found a dead "naked mole" one time as well. That think was creepy looking as hell.

Weird smell outside my house,got no idea where its coming from but its rough since its gotten nice out. Funny you mention that... a mile or so from my house there is a company that produces liquid flavoring. Most of the time when the wind is right we can smell it and it smells great, usually it seems to be a cherry or grape smell. BUT once in a while they do a clean out and when they do, if the wind is right IT STINKS. Smells like a rotten ammonia smell. In another direction about a mile away we used to have Nabisco and that always smelled amazing, like fresh baked cookies. It's now a Top-Golf so now we are stuck with just either an awesome cherry or grape smell or a really bad stink. lol. When my wife and I were first married we lived in an apartment complex across the street from a drakes factory it always smelled like baked goods.

Most apartment complexes usually just smell like goods that get you baked.

Cat's going to the vet tomorrow. Probably getting put down. It's time, she's old and has been chronically sick for years, but it sucks. Dad's not doing so hot either. Checks a lot of the boxes for Parkinson's. Swears he's been tested and he's fine and he's making regular doctors visits, but I honestly don't know how much I believe him.

Work.
One of our 2 night shift guys quit in January. One guy can't work alone per company policy. So we have had no night shift. The other night guy came to days. He's then proceed to miss 29 days since then. Now he's getting moved next week to another (AKA easier) position. Me and the guy I work with have done 4 people's jobs for 3 months, staying late, while everyone else leaves on time. Today I did a 2 person job by myself and left work 3 hours after we shut down. All because they "can't find people for night" which basically means they're enjoying saving that money.
I'm so close to snapping on these mfs.

Turned on my AC today. Well it didn't turn on... thought I'd have to call someone to fix it BUT the other day I changed the filter and figured let me check that first. Well I opened it up, all looked fine. Put the covers back on a BOOM! Clicked on! I didn't have the covers on all the way I guess. Air is cold, happy days! So far so good.

We took our cat to the vets today. And we’re there for maybe 30 minutes. On our way home we saw a lot of smoke in the air. And it looked like a good two miles of woods and apartments/homes were on figure in New City. So we had to turn around and go back to the NY thruway and taking it to the Palisades Parkway north. When we got to the first of our towns two exit we could see smoke in the distance down by the Hudson River in Haverstraw (part of our town) so we took the next exit and as we go off we saw smoke figure in Stoney Point the next town next to ours. They Stoney Points is almost under control but that New City one looked very bad.
Updated * It turns out a train caused it. Supposedly there’s a video on Facebook that shows it’s wheels were sparking from Stoney Point until New City/Congers NY.

Missed 2 parcel delivery's today, fortunately one was delivered next door and one was delivered to my grans. The Amazon order I've missed twice this week, even though I was in both times, came after the guy delivering phoned my house to say can you come to the door. Long story short, our doorbell was broke, so that explained it.

Settling into my new job Not sure if my Sgt is just way he is or doesn’t like me
Sometimes I have misperceptions and misunderstandings occasionally harder time understanding stuff Once I do understand things I become aggressively knowledgeable
From 2 prior HS teachers and from others I have been told I learn and perceive differently. And I have had insecurity that I may have learning disorder.
I experienced lot of trauma in late 2021 and more trauma from when I was younger. and I really think it’s impacted how I think and process. I’ve been told by many I’m very intelligent but there’s something just off in my learning and perception.
With that being said I’m very insecure and paranoid that I either do have one (which may be mental relief too) or I’m just very critical of myself and overthink things

Always something... yesterday we had a bunch of water coming from under the refrigerator on the kitchen floor. The fridge is only a few months old and I initially thought it was that. However there was water leaking in our basement back room (which is the floor of the kitchen) from not only the side where the fridge is, but along the front middle to the opposite side. I think it may be the drain pipe because my wife just got out of the shower but it really has be baffled because how would it get under the fridge? And the drain is on the opposite side. Also there was no water on the bathroom floor and even if there was it would be leaking from the kitchen ceiling now the kitchen floor. Plumber is coming tomorrow so I guess they will figure it out. I am such a nervous wreck worrying about it though. Nothing is leaking now (at least not yet thankfully).

I suppose to had a pretty big operation today and yesterday got a call from the doc that they had to cancel because my blood work showed some stuff wrong with my kidneys. So that's had me pretty depressed since then since I've put so much time and $$$$ into getting it done. Then today I a got another call that woke me up to find out my sister/nephew's cat died,just knowing how much they cared for it is really getting to me. This has been one bad start to the week.

He won't find anything and you'll look like a fool. And then about an hour after he's gone something will start leaking again. Then you'll be even more confused and p!ssed off. That's usually how things like that go for me.

Weird smell outside my house,got no idea where its coming from but its rough since its gotten nice out. Have you considered it may be a gas leak? I had that outside my house one time and the city came and confirmed and fixed it immediately when they were notified

I had that outside my house one time and the city came and confirmed and fixed it immediately when they were notified No,I found out couple days later that some people staying in the I dont really know what you call it I guess a air B&B behind my house had some kind of a explosion. The lady that owns it stop by my house on the way out from cleaning it after they left to ask did I hear anything but she said she didn't have a idea what they must've done. Said the whole basement smelled like it and it was broken glass everywhere,so I still don't know what caused it but I think she had people come in to clean it up. The smell is all gone now is what I'm most thankful for.
