Genesis 23 (The Nose Knows)

An incredible wonderful contraption is the nose.
It is able to detect the delicate fragrance of a rose.
It can ascertain the difference between coffee and cinnamon.
It can highlight the aroma of freshly baked bread.
It can slam you in the head and slap you silly with the pungent smell of something dead.
Particularly if the dead thing is in your roof.
Particularly if it's been there for a little while (2-3 weeks):(
Particularly if the man hole is in the bathroom and the smell comes through the gaps and gets entrapped in the aforementioned bathroom and every time you walk in it grabs you in a choke hold, gives you a noogie from hell and yells "HELLO. I'M A BIG BAD SMELL"
Particularly, no, Especially if you want to have guests over.
Particularly if you keep telling your beautiful, caring, understanding wife that you'll do something about it.
Soon.
Maybe tomorrow.
Hopefully the smell will be gone by then.
Maybe.
It DID go away, a bit.
But it's back.
Not just a bit.

Now the problem in removing said smelly dead thing is not being worried about going into the roof and finding something gross that I may have to touch.
No way.
It has more to do about how I have to get into the roof.
As I said, the man hole is in the bathroom. However it is ingeniously placed above the shower. This means that to climb up into the dome of dead, smelly things I have to place the ladder partly in the bath and then bend my body in ways that it was never meant to bend to get around the shower rail into the hole that is only just big enough to fit me.
I'm not sure if I can physically do it, let alone worry about having to touch a dead, gross, smelly thing.
EEEuuuurrrgggg!
I really need to wash my hands right now.
And my face.
Actually I'll just have a shower.
But to do that I have to go to the ...............doh!

Genesis 23
Whenever we have dealings with others. Be it in business or friendship or whatever.
We have a responsibility to be honest, sincere and true to our word.
Integrity is so important these days.
There seem to be few who truly have it.
If you say you'll do something.
Do it.
If you agree to something.
Fulfill that agreement.
If you think you can get away with something.
Think again.
Do what is the right thing to do, every time.
