smell

My husband can tell you a have a very good sense of smell. It bothers him to no end sometimes but I don't think he sees how he can use it to his advantage. Not yet anyway. There is a woman I work with who wears the nastiest smelling perfume. Even though some patrons have even complained about it she still wears it cause its her scent. Days she works with me and she puts on a lot I have to stay on the other end of the desk because it'll make me sick.
We have three cats and I'm the one who cleans the litter box every morning. There are nights that I will wake up or having been woken up for some reason I can smell the box and I have to get up and clean it so I can go back to sleep.
Funny thing is I'm really not that bad with food smells. I guess maybe because I like most all of them. Only fish to a certain extent can bother me. Although my mother used to make perogies in oil. She did this once when I was pregnant with the twins. I don't think I've eaten one to this day. And maybe because we always went shopping and ate at every fast food place around when I was a kid I love them all and need to get my fixes in after smelling them.
Bodily functions when it comes to the kids really don't bother me too much. You gotta do it right. And mom usually gets to clean it up. When I was a page at the library I was in a storytime class where a little girl got sick. I immediately got paper towels and started cleaning her up. Other people would have ran for the parent right away. I felt bad for her and helped clean her off. I don't remember it as being gross or even smelling for that matter I just remember reacting and helping her clean herself off.
Dealing with the public we get our share of smelly people. Sometimes dirty too. You just kind of have to back away take a deep breath and go wash your hands sometimes. Certain days people reeking of smoke bother the hell out of me. Other days I take a good deep breath and inhale the smoke. Womens perfumes aren't too bad. Mens cologne, every once in awhile I ask what it is their wearing if I like it.
My husband doesn't wear cologne very often. He has one that I love and maybe if he wore it at home more often .... Well I'll leave it at that. He leaves at about 5:45am for work but always comes in to kiss me goodbye. He's all cleaned up and ready for the day and smells yummy. If he gave himself some extra time in the morning I could drag him back into bed with me most mornings. At night before we go to bed he might go into the bathroom and get cleaned up but he doesn't use the cologne unless we go out. I have since moved it into our bedroom and from time to time just spray it around the room. It's an extra pick me up for me and puts me in a great mood for when he does get home. Although as with any scent its takes on a little something else with whomever may be wearing it so it's better on than just in the air. I have tried to find some other colognes but what I like he usually doesn't like. I like helping guys that smell good at work. Sad part is sometimes they're really old but they still smell yummy.
He also has to wear a good deodorant. Not to block out the smell of him.. well maybe sometimes but the smell of the deodorant itself has to be good. I've learned I have my favorite there and since I'm the one who usually buys it, it's worth it going into a different store just to find it. There are too many that smell so bad to me it is the biggest turn off and I don't even want to get near my husband. I don't know if I'm crazy or not but smell is a major factor in whats going on. Or what could possibly be going on later in the evening.
