It's Not You. Probably. But yes it is. Whatever.

  I watched a video   by Mel Robbins. I get what she’s putting down most of the time. Today especially she spoke to me. She said someone in the world needs to hear what I have to say. And maybe give someone else who’s gone through my experience a bit of a boost too.   Ok Mel, if you say so! Here it is!   (and if you don’t need it, move along, it’s all good)   I think most people that I associate and hang around, especially in my own town, have similar life path experiences. You go to school. You work. You get married. You have kids. At some point you probably bought a house and settled into what you assume is “your life” with the family unit you created.   That’s what I thought I was doing.   I felt pretty secure in my foundation. I loved my family and everything it represented and portrayed. The stability of support, a predictive timeline, those next anticipated steps.

Your alarm goes off. Ugh. Work. There's nothing you want to do more than snuggle down deep into your warm comfy bed. But you can't. Because the kids will find you and the job will fire you.

The general starting point of everyday people in a civilized, non-smelly society is the shower. Mine especially. I simply cannot SKIP this Weternized regiment.  (ha ha. see what I did there?

Well: Hello There, Smelly Sink

A Capital Well customer testimonial by Lyndsay Lund “Moooooom! The bathroom stinks!” Never a good opener for the morning. Plus, with that kind of lead- in, who knows what the kids have done… “Flush it!” “Nooooo MOM. UGH! Don’t be gross! The water from the sink smells!” “Oh.” “Ew.” (Clarification is always helpful, my little cherub.) While my  slightly over-dramatic daughter with the offended sniffer continued bemoaning the wretched rotten-egg-like stank of our sink, I got a little concerned. It’s our water, after all. Kind of the most important life-source going. Must. Think. Through. What IS the appropriate judgement call given those circumstances at the moment? “Does the water smell from the kitchen faucet?” “No….” Am genius. Tell Mensa. “Ok... then brush your teeth and stuff down there.” Seriously, send me an award for brilliance. Cause the problem is SOLVED! Kinda. For many of us. But not really.. Because my logic? It’s admittedly flawed. If
