I have no idea what I just ate.....

Ok, I do know, but I couldn't tell by tasting..you see, my taste buds are on strike. As is my sense of smell. I have had this before, but NEVER to this extent. I mean, I forgot about supper on the stove one night this past week. Normally, I could have smelled it when it started burning. But not this time. I didn't smell a thing. Then Tony walks in and asks me.."What are you burning on the stove?"...uh..." I'm not burning anything!" I reply indignantly...and then I remember that I am cooking something on the stove..but I don't smell it burning...So I go in there and sure enough, I have a charred blob of something in the pan...but i'm not upset that I burned it...I was freaked out cause I didn't smell it burning! I mean, the house could have been on fire for all I would have known! I told Tony that maybe I could salvage it...stupidly, before I could think, I stuck my non-smelling nose in the pan and said that it didn't smell burned... ha ha ha...DUH...ya think? Tony said there was no way he was eating that...and I guess that's when I realized how bad my sense of smell was...he was saying the whole house stunk...I didn't smell it at all! Then to make matters worse, a lady came by later that evening and brought me 2 candles as a gift...(did she smell the house all the way from where she lived???)....one was Blueberry, one was Pineapple...they both just as well been plain brown mud cause I couldn't smell either one of them.....I told her of my dilema, and apologized that I couldn't make over how good they smelled cause I couldn't smell them, but I was sure they smelled wonderful... and told her I would call her when my smeller got better and let her know how I liked them...LOL....Erica comes over the next day. The pan is still sitting in the sink...(I couldn't smell it so I had forgot about it..)...when I told her that my smell was gone and that I had burnt dinner and didn't know it, I remembered the pan..I held it out for her to smell....and she bout puked. LOL...nah, she didn't ...but she said it smelled horrible! I stuck my nose in the pan again...and could not smell a thing! Amazing....but not being able to smell is not near as bad as not being able to taste...........
There is something about eating a marshmallow and not being able to taste it. I mean, you are chewing on the rubbery peice of food, but you can't taste it. You begin to think all kinds of things..like...I wonder if this is what chewing on .......would feel like. I mean, i've been on a diet, right? I couldn't even get any satisfaction outta cheating on it...I mean, if i'm gonna pay a penalty for breaking a rule, then you better believe i'm gonna get the satisfaction of at least tasting what it is that's gonna cost me!...and if those two aren't bad enough....
My right ear is completely blocked up. I can't hear worth a flip outta that ear. I feel like I am talking in a drum. I have yawned, swallowed, pinched my nose and blew back in my mouth, used nose spray and chewed candy. It will not unplug. I am beginning to feel a lot of pressure behind the eardrum. For now, there is no pain with it..I am praying it stays that way.
So folks, 2 out of my 5 senses are useless right now..and a 3rd is on it's way out. All that is working right now correctly is my site..(no these are not glasses on my nose...ok..yes it is).... and the sense of touch. Of course this one would be the only one working...LOL.....
