Still alive :)

Thankfully, both my mom and I had pretty mild cases of Covid. Hers is all cleared up, but I continue to have petty, lingering symptoms, like nasal congestion and loss of taste and smell. My taste and smell are back up to about 60-70% of their normal sensitivity, in that I can differentiate between broad categories (i.e., sweet/sour/salty/bitter or pleasant/unpleasant), but I still can't detect individual flavors or scents. Most tragically of all, I still cannot taste chocolate!

It's all quite annoying. >:/

But considering I'm the idiot who picked it up, a fitting punishment for me. XP

Gah, the dreaded bug! D: I hope your senses come all the way back; at least you weren't stuck perceiving everything as smelling/tasting awful, like I've heard about in a few cases. Chocolate tasting like gasoline is a punishment too grave for any crime 💀

Yeah, it finally caught me! XP I was being silly on NYE, and took off my mask at a concert. Thankfully, it wasn't too bad, but it's still an experience I don't want to have again.

I finally got my smell and taste back about two weeks ago, so yay! I've heard about the side effect of things smelling/tasting weird when the senses come back, but I avoided much of it. I did sense an unpleasant smell for a few days, but thankfully, everything cleared up and went to back to normal. I missed my chocolate! XD
