Over the weekend, I had to get some stuff done around the house. Normally that would not be a big deal if not for a couple of other factors that lead to my mistake and now my stench being that of an 90 year old blue hair. I have a bad back to begin with and a big chunk of what I had to do involved picking up and transporting large stone bricks that were around 40 pounds each. As you might imagine after moving about 50 of those- my back was not in the best shape.
It was time for sleep and for whatever reason, I simply could not go to sleep last night. I stayed up way past my normal bed time. Again, this in of itself would not be a big deal if not followed up with the always great experience of being woken up in the middle of the night because your 4 year old daughter says in a defeated voice just on the verge of crying "I went pee pee." I went ahead and dutifully got her and the bed cleaned up and had her go sleep in her brothers room. However, she was not about to just jump into bed and go to sleep and wanted her Daddy. I unhappily agreed to laying down with her in the bed now cramped with myself, my 4 year old and my poor 2 year old who just had his bed invaded. Of course, the bed itself is not comfortable but then getting kicked and poked with two little munchkins makes for not getting much sleep through the night. Morning comes and of course we are running late and I am tired as heck. I finally get the kids on the go and it is time for me to get ready. Being as sore as I am it is hard to move fast so the last point of departure to ensure on time delivery to work was quickly approaching.
I took some Alieve but also needed something to put on my back. I normally will use Salon Pas patches (they are awesome!) but I could not find any salon pas patches this morning. This meant I had to use one of the gels among my vast collection of muscle ache options. I have two different ones near where I am getting ready. 1) Works ok but has the benefit of being basically odorless. 2) Works very well but has the big drawback of smelling like Ben Gay (thought it is not that brand).
Not thinking very clearly or taking the time to look- I grab one and get a generous amount of goo to slather on my back. Shortly after doing so, I notice an aroma. One that you sometimes smell when you visit a grandparent or happen through the elderly section of a building. I then realize what I did.
Oh well.
I smell.
On the bright side, over 50% of my customer are north of 60 anyways so they are likely not to be able to tell the difference.
