Been There

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. Congratulations if you've reached the modern day benchmark of success and retired.. but you still eventually must get up and look presentable in case your friends want to play bridge or something. (I know nothing about retirement, in case you can't tell, nor will I likely ever, but that's another post) Regardless, It's time to scrub up, Happy Camper! 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? Westernized/ Weternized? No? ok.) Let's just say I'm particular. And the first thing I do is adjust the spray of the water to hit me square between the eyes. It's really gotta jar the brain enough to prope

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
