not quite Proust's madeleine

I was just reminded that Old Spice smells like labor and delivery to me.

See, as you may recall, I had an emergency induction. Which meant that Mr. E had to run home from the hospital to try and pull all our shit together while the good doctors began the process of trying to get an IV into me, and among the things he did not grab was any deodorant. Welp, turns out that giving birth is a fairly strenuous physical activity, and I had no deodorant left on after spending 8 hours or so in the tub, and after a while it was like, look, my life is bad enough without also being so stinky that I cannot stand to be in the same bed as myself. Please run down to the gift shop and get me some damn deodorant. And all they had was Old Spice brand deodorant. So that was what we all smelled strongly of while I was in the hospital having the Junebug and after.

tl;dr I had the placenta your placenta could smell like.
