New fan of the blog. Look forward to reading more of your great writing! Next time you shower in a smelly spot, apply some liquid soap/shampoo under your nose. It helps quite a bit!

I can imagine a bit of that stress you were feeling, I felt it as I was reading this post. I’m sure your dad was thinking the opposite, why is she worrying about me?
