wayfaringwordhack" Ooh ohh, that smell; can't you smell that smell?" No, Ronnie, I can't smell that smell or anything else either. Not because of anything listed in your fine song but because of that tiny crowned scourge that has so rocked the world these past couple of years.
Today, I am feeling a bit better, not quite so tired. However, thanks to dratted mosquitos, I was unable, yet again, to get a decent night's sleep. I am coughing and have a sore throat, still having some fever flashes, but I don't have any difficulty breathing, etc. Once, again, what sets this particular nasty apart for me is that I have lost taste and smell* (which came back after a week the first time and didn't disappear the second); and I feel a lot more tired than I would with a cold and a bit more than with flu. Oh, and this time, I was feeling some pain in my ears.**
Once again, getting sick now is great timing since J is on holiday and our travel date is still two weeks out.

* I can allllllmost taste and smell things again, which sounds weird to say, but yeah, everything is very, very faint, and the loss only set in last night.
** I am detailing all this stuff just for my memory because I tend to forget details with time.
