| What is your sense of smell like? Photo Credit: Science ABC |
It was lunch
time, all I needed to do was make a quick stop at the post office to pick up a
package. I guess everyone else had the same idea. The line wasn’t quite out the
door, but there were enough of us to call it a crowd.
I stood in
line and scrolled through messages on my phone as I waited. Then my Spidey
senses began to tingle. My extreme superpower was beginning to react. The Six
Million Dollar Man had a bionic eye. The Bionic Woman had super
hearing. I’ve gained the superpower of a heightened sense of smell.
Someone breezed
past me and left behind the bold scent of baby oil. It wasn’t bad, just bold.
Not even a minute had passed when a breeze from another direction tickled my
nose hairs. It was the scent of pancake syrup. There I stood contemplating
whether I should go home and shower or make waffles with melted butter and
syrup.
I blame the
entire post office episode on a menopausal hormone imbalance. At the tender
time in a woman’s life when she reaches half a century old, she can blame
hormones for whatever she wants. Therefore, a trip to the post office can trigger
a menopausal moment… but it will pass.
Menopausal
moments come and they go. They can happen anywhere – the grocery store, the
bank, while you’re sitting and relaxing. Find the humor in it, treat it like a
superpower, and move on.
What
situation have you experienced recently that caused you to uncover the humor?
