Ew.

[personal profile] myrialux decided to change the A/C filter at the new house today.



What you are looking at is an A/C filter that (a) used to be white and (b) has two Yankee Candle air fresheners clipped to it.

Hopefully they were the cause of The House Smell. [personal profile] myrialux never could smell much other than knowing there was a faint unidentifiable smell. I could definitely smell…something. Due to my current smell/taste situation, when there are smells in the air they all smell the same, if I can detect them at all. If I put my nose right up in something I can often get an identifiable smell but not more than an inch or so away.

So I have been smelling something vaguely like latex paint when we come into the house, enough so that a couple of times I opened windows and turned the fans on, which cleared it out of the house for a few days. I assumed it was the new paint job on the walls plus whatever else residual smells had been wafting from various surfaces.

I did not smell it when we came back in from picking up groceries, so fingers crossed it was those air fresheners. I did not want to put my nose anywhere near that filter to check so I won’t be sure for a few days!
