I never really lost my sense of smell. I could always smell things out better than most, including my husband. A few weeks after quitting....OH BOY....could I really smell again. That took some getting used to! For about three months, and SOOOOOO not proud of this, I used to follow smokers in stores so I could "smell" them.

As for the intro, yes, I am beyond frustrated and angry. Seeing shit like Holocaust inversion, anti-Semitism, lies and distortions, and cheering certain elements has made my skin crawl. It is, IMO, the worst it has ever been. I know most don't give a shit, but there are few who have really shown the types of people they are and I am trying to adhere to and focus more on those supportive people than letting myself get mired in the negative. I have good days and bad days.

But, I wanted to share something positive from my life (along with the arrival of my puppies) that makes me proud and happy.
