welcome to the weekly how's your week going thread

this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special

on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i'll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire

I'm waging a losing war against the squirrels for my flower bed. So far, I have saturated the area with Irish Spring soap shreds and sprayed a mix of Repel All/Tobasco sauce on everything. The smell is nauseating.

Does anyone know if those sonic repellant machines actually work?

I have no idea, but now I am imagining tiny squirrels in WW2 helmets planning an ambush on your garden, so thanks for that!

Can’t comment for squirrels but the sonic repellant worked really well for cats that had been doing their business at the bottom of the garden. Squirrels are basically small cats right?

I hope so. They are going after my potted plants now.
