[stylist] Smell

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

OMG, Declan's had a cold for two weeks, now Ross is home with the flu
today. I'm surrounded by sick people!!! I rarely get sick too, but
surrounded by so much sickness, I'm counting the hours. I've been
disinfecting everything all day, LOL!

I don't often smell things, or smell them well. Not sure why, but as
long as I can remember, my sense of smell has been very under-developed.

I have an incredibly sensative nose . Just before I read Chris's
comments I 
was thinking about smell and how much I miss it, since I have a cold. A 
rather brutal one. I haven't had one for nearly two years and this one
crept 
in and kicked me in the head after a stressful couple of incidence that 
compremised my amune system. I think I'm near the end of it, but I am so

missing my smell! I inherited it from my grandmother I think. She had
one 
amazing nose also.

Sometimes it is like being slapped in the face, certain smells, but I 
wouldn't trade it.

Though standing by someone with bad breath can really ruin a
conversation. 
LOL
Health to us all,
Atty
