Just plug your nose, it’ll be fine.

This feels like solid life advice for a number of areas. Passing a smelly room in a hotel. Driving by a skunk’s death scene, or maybe one that just had a really bad scare. Having to take a horrible tasting medicine that surely makes me want to vomit.

Plug your nose, keep it moving, hope for the best.

The one area it doesn’t really help is underwater. For some reason when I tell people I don’t love going underwater this is always their answer. And it’s true, I don’t love water going up my nose and yes, plugging my nose does indeed take care of the water flying up it issue, but the underwater glitch is so much more than my nose.

I hate water rushing into my ears and how my eyes feel opened underwater. Plugging my nose won’t do a damn thing about those but I surely say it’s top notch for preventing H2O from shoving it’s way up into my brain.

And on that rather inelegant imagery I shall take my leave.

Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “plug.” Use it as a noun, use it as a verb, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
