there is a war in my sinuses

And I'm pretty sure it looks a lot like this screen grab from Altered Beast. The fun part is that, 5 days into the snotpocalypse (because EVERYTHING is a goddamn -pocalypse so far this year), I'm sort of getting my sense of smell back. And I will now share with you the exciting things my broken sense of smell has revealed. 

CUCUMBER: smells like pepper, tastes like melon-wallpaper

SECONDHAND SMOKE: smells like bread on fire (or the toast of my youth)(sorry Mom)

CHERRY COUGH DROPS: smell like plastic, taste like Mr. Clean (mmmMMMMMMMM!!!!!)

COFFEE: smells like laundry, tastes like milk with mushrooms

SALAD: smells like paint, tastes like lemon (what?)

SOUP: smells like absolutely nothing, tastes like plain oatmeal

SHAMPOO: smells like windex, so I didn't taste it

WHATEVER FUNK OUR NEIGHBORS ARE PUMPING THROUGH THE SHARED AIR VENT: smells like a wet dog is smoking a LOT of weed

DIET CHERRY COKE: smells like pepper (or cucumber, apparently), tastes like old fruit gum (and I hate fruit gum)

Now you know. I'd also like to thank NyQuil for the fact that I've had dreams about people trying to evade the supermarket police (a valid concept) by throwing coconuts at them in some kind of factory, and claiming the coconuts are human heads, so my husband and I put on coveralls and started stealing coconuts, but agreed to take only a few in case they actually turned into human heads - FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS NOW.
