Everything smells different now. Flowers don't smell like flowers anymore; they smell like alien farts. Coffee doesn't smell like it should either; it smells like alien farts. Perfume? Oranges? Petrichor? Alien farts, alien farts, and alien farts.

thats unfortunate, my sense of smell came back but it took a WHILE. i mourned it for a time there.
