You've been warned. Read at your own risk! Last week, I started taking fish oil and flax seed oil capsules. On Sunday. On Monday morning, I went to work and peed and literally knocked myself off my feet. The smell! Good Lord, what happened in here? The kids aren't even here yet and this place smells horrible! Like old coffee grounds and something dead. ugh. On Wednesday, I came home and thought, "holy shit" the cat peed in my bed...and it smells like.... old coffee grounds and a dead fish? wait a minute...have you ever tried to smell your own crotch while standing up? nice mental image...well, I got a faint odor of ... yup, old coffee grounds and fish. completely disgusting. So, for the past two days, I've been wearing a scented panty liner and that seems to be helping, plus my body seems to be getting used to the capsules, so less stink.

Why would anyone submit to this? Well, supposedly, these pills are MIRACLE workers, I tell you. They help depression (got that) high blood pressure (occasionally got that, especially at the doctors, where they check those things, heart palpitations (yup, got those) and joint paint (when riding my bike)...so we'll see. It's also supposed to help with abdominal fat (definitely got that). I would smell like a decaying dog if I could melt away some abdominal fat.

In other news of aging and body decay, I broke a tooth during snack time at preschool on a freaking animal cracker! A back tooth, which apparently was being held together by about 16 different fillings. So, they ground it down, ground the area around my tooth to little shredded bits of bloody gum and jammed an ill fitting temporary up there. I come home and immediately start the "what if it's going to hurt later, it IS hurting, it IS later, and bingo the phone rings. Can I come back in now, they forgot something. Uh oh, so back in I go, they pry off the temporary, scrape off all the cement, OUCH, more novocaine, than take a wonderful impression where I swear all my teeth felt like they were being hauled out at the end and then jammed that temporary BACK in.

Now I have a nice ulcer in my gums. lovely.

So, why do I have tons of "baby fat" around my middle and have grandma teeth at the same time? I am a delight to live with right now.

A freaking delight!

However, it is snowing, so hopefully tomorrow I can post pics of that.

Yes, I'm afraid I have. Glad the smell is starting to go away. Ken started taking fish oil capsules a few weeks ago, but I haven't noticed any odd smells emanating from him. You must be lucky enough to have "special" body chemistry!

I broke a tooth a few years ago. A perfectly good tooth with no fillings, thank you very much! I was eating a sausage egg McMuffin at the time. My dentist told me that bread is the most common food for people to be eating when their teeth break off. You see, the tooth was already broken. The soft food wraps around it and pulls the broken pieces off. Kinda like when you thought that impression was going to pull all the rest of your teeth out.
