covid sucks

I'm now on week 5 of Covid and still feel shitty and my brain is mush.

Cinnamon still tastes like dirt. I really REALLY liked cinnamon (added it to my breakfast shake every day before), and I'm hoping it's not gone forever.

I can't taste tomatoes at all. It's so weird. It's like there's mushy nothingness in my mouth.

I've lost smell/taste before with colds but never like this 😭

I also can't taste anything bitter, so Brussels sprouts (one of my faves) have absolutely no bitterness.

Which you think would be great, but I kinda miss the contrast.

I know I should be glad I lived (I'm pretty sure me and my mom would've been among those to die if we'd gotten Covid before vaccines and other treatments were available) but I'm definitely feeling whiny.
