(1,232 posts)I either smell something burning, or cigarette smoke strong enough to gag me. No one's ever smoked in this house (youngest used to vape, that never bothered me). It's awful, going around and around the house, checking in closets and behind furniture, looking for something on fire. And then having to go around outside. Man, the lizard brain really gets going when it thinks I'm going to burn to death!
Looking back months later, early last year I realized I may have had a small stroke. I felt like I'd gotten the flu or something, cold, tired, shaky, sleepy. No other symptoms, until later I realized my right arm didn't work right. This was later, too late to get medical care. My brain didn't connect it in time. Then I got Covid, and it's been hell inside my head. I can't type half the time, the other half I'm fixing typos every other word. I forget words, can't remember stuff, I'm tired, distractible.
It's a mess, and I know now how this stuff works and won't let it pass again. Well, I hope. The way I can't focus well means I might miss it again. Sigh. Life sucks sometimes.
