Oh. Thank. God. Was afraid I was the only one, and I was about to ask for an intervention.

I'm going to be singing "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" in my sleep, I know it.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
:hugs right back:
That song always makes my tear ducts act up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. There's a somewhat nasty fire in the three-flat three buildings down from me. No visible fire, but the entire building is filled with smoke. Firefighters on on the roof smashing things, and going through the whole building looking for people. It's weird - I could see their flashlights through the smoke, but not the firemen.
Then I went to the back alley to check things out there. That's where all the smoke was going. Now I stink of smoke.

Mmmmm. Smoked tommyrot!
It's possible I should go get some food.

Heh.
But seriously, I think I'm gonna have to take a shower. And um... how do I get this awful smoke smell out of my nostrils?

Go sniff coffee grounds. Hey, it works at Body Shop!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I keep coffee grounds in my purse to ward off migraine triggers. Works if I'm quick.

Sometimes you just can't, and if the fire's that close, you may be able to smell it from there. When the church about a quarter of a mile away was on fire, we smelled it as if it were in our house.
Also, did they mean to use "Money" as The Apprentice theme song?

OK, I took a shower, but the smell was still there. So I figured it was the perfect opportunity to clean the cat box. OK, so there's really no "perfect opportunity to clean the cat box," but for the first time in a while I could actually smell something else. And the cat box smell is pretty benign compared to that smoke smell.
So I was actually happy to be smelling the cat box. Weird, huh?
ION, I am reading The Guns of August - about the the lead up to and the first month of WW-I. Gawd, I knew that the royal families of some of the European monarchies were related, but I didn't know they all were.
edit for sense....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's a slippery slope, tommyrot. Pretty soon we'll be finding you behind the dumpster at the 7-11, huffing kitty litter. Sad.
