To be honest, I'm not sure what happened.
I woke up this morning like any other morning and took a shower. I used the same body wash I always do, smoothed on the same lotion and deoderant, and splashed the same perfume.
But now? I'm pretty sure I smell funny.
Not bad, mind you, but not great. Not disgusting or dirty or anything but just.....weird. Off.
I thought it was my car, and granted, it still might be after the amount of water I spilled from flower pots over the weekend and how disgustingly hot and humid it's been.
But then I just went to walk out the door and the breeze blew past me and my nose went, "Huh. That's it again."
And now I'm paranoid. (DOES THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE?! For the love of God, please tell me it does. Lie if you have to.)
Not once, but twice, have I peeled off my cardigan (which is one I'm trying to wear to rescue it from the Goodwill bin, as it's in danger of the not-worn-in-6-months default donation) and waved it around to air it out.
And now I'm trying to remember WHY this was in the Goodwill bin to start with.
And NOW I'm pretty darn sure that it's because the last time I wore it, my skin started to smell funny.
And now I'm stuck in this potentially funny smelling sweater for the entire day.
And I'm even more paranoid. And starting to sweat as a result.
You might call this a catch-22. Or, in a more hipster-ish fashion, "an ironic moment."
I really wish I could say this was an odd occurance, and in fact it sort of is, but the act of having an odd occurance is, well, really not odd.
So it's just Wednesday. Hope you're having a good one. If you see me today, and I smell a little off to you, please don't tell me. It will only make it worse.
