My email notified me that Fedex had been to my house and dropped off my package. So…home at lunch to start the process.
This morning I’ve been a bit tired (had to go to work early), but expectant. In an ‘up’ mood. Significant interactions (for data purposes) with 2 women at work. “V” is a younger female, enjoyable personality. Makes a point to always tell others that they look good. Or hot. Or whatever she’s thinking. Today she passed and said “Wow, you look REALLY good today”. Fairly standard. “M” is an older female, typical ‘crotchety crone’ type, but has a good heart under the bluster. This morning she has been absolutely spinning out on everything, talking to herself and getting really upset about every single bit of minutiae that touches her world. As she sits next to me, I hear the outbursts and am apparently expected to comment.
Me today:
Wearing: Skinny black velvet jeans, black stilettos, dark grey long-sleeve ‘wrap’ top with scoop-neck. Hair long, a bit mussed up. Mascara and lip goo.
Mood: Upbeat, expectant.
Weather: Overcast and humid (60’s I suppose)
Pheromone of choice: 2 sprays IS (1x) inside of wrists, rubbed together, against sides of neck and across cleavage.
Physiological result in first 5 minutes: ‘clearing’ feeling in my brain (thank goodness…the brain fog of fibromyalgia is such a constant nag…), feeling like I’d just ingested a stimulant (as far as clearing in my head) without the jitters of say…caffeine. Warming sensation throughout ‘self’ without feeling hot.
Smells ok. Will take some getting used to, but not horrid…certainly.
Feeling…antsy and want to spray on everything that arrived:-) A LOT! (Impulse control…impulse control…)
Dogs (Basenjis…genetically African dingos, not ‘domestic dogs’, with wild-dog estrus cycles and prey drives) 1 male, 1 female, both ‘fixed’, both ran to me, female smelled my wrists and left…disinterested. Male couldn’t care less about my wrists, but smelled the inside of the bubble wrap for a bit. Seems more concerned about where his bitch went. I only bring up the dogs, because I’ve seen a few posts that mention affects on animals…and as these two are pure wild thangs without genetic mutation…and who are intrinsically bonded to me, I wondered if there would be interest or confusion or…whatever…in their little pea brains. Not, apparently with 2 shots of IS. I’ll probably continue writing about them as I try new things…until/unless they show no sign of interest, in which case I’ll drop them from my list of things to monitor.
And so back to work…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Self affects as noted above. But…um…I couldn’t help myself. Before I left, I sprayed one more IS front and center neck (and on my leather jacket/hair/wall behind me). Ugh. I don’t wear perfume…and this smells really overpowering to me…still.
No hits. “M” was a bit calmer this afternoon, but entirely probable that she simply wore herself out with her unbridled negativity during the morning hours. “V” exactly as always.
Wondering if 2 sprays would have netted something, or if IS really IS all about me…
Dingos still don’t care ![]()
