Now in smell-o-vision

Over the weekend I lost my sense of smell and taste. When I woke up Saturday morning, the normal "home" smell was missing from my perception. I knew something was really wrong when I opened a jar of vapo-rub and I couldn't smell anything; I couldn't smell my coffee or the onions in my veggie omelet. Still no other symptoms. Just this annoying one.

I went to the drive thru testing center in town to get a nose swab. I will know the results in 3 to 5 days. Guess I am working from home this week.

Amazingly, after insisting I go get tested, my husband threw a fit when I told him I wasn't going to do the grocery shopping. I just looked at him like he'd lost his mind. So he thinks I might have the virus and he still wants me to go to the store? I would think the healthier person should do the shopping, but maybe I'm wrong. No, I'm not wrong.

After pouting for an hour he managed to find his way to the store to buy some things.
I can go long stretches believing I am living with another adult and then I get sick and I am reminded how little this person cares about me. It use to make me sad. Now, I just don't care. Grow up or move along. I don't have time or energy for this.
