This weekend I have been recovering from some kind of illness. Kind of a bad cold, with sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, etc. I have been taking sudafed, and it works great, but leaves me with two side-effects. The first is dry-mouth. That’s not that bad, as I have been drinking tons of water. The second is that I get this yucky taste in my mouth, and everything smells smoky. Not a nice bbq smoke, either. It’s more like a cigarette type of smoke. And not like you walked into a bar and smell a cigarette (I actually like that smell), but it’s more like you just smoked a cigarette, and have that taste in your mouth and want to brush your teeth. It’s both a taste and a smell. Kind of hard to describe, but let’s just say, it’s unpleasant. Anyways, I am much better and back at work.
