Since it was a public holiday last Monday there wasn't any class to report on.
However, something weird has happened to me, well actually quite a few weird things have happened. Too many to mention and/or some too private to divulge...
The other day I was shopping at my local supermarket, the one I've shopped at for the last 30 years... Yeah I know, I'm old, so what... No one has ever looked me in the eye at that place let alone ask me if I'm ok. The woman at the check out did exactly that, she lent forward and said, "you don't look yourself today, are you ok?" I answered with something equally strange..."Actually no, I'm not ok, I've lost my sense of taste..." She said, "I thought there was something not quite right about you today." Not only is it weird that she noticed me at all, but she went to the next step of not only feeling some concern about my welfare but voicing it.
Well onto the next weird bit, what I just mentioned happened 5 days ago, today the same woman was walking towards the checkout that I was at and said, "are you feeling any better today?" I looked at the girl at the checkout and thought. Here we go, you're in trouble for taking too many sickees hey? Lol. (She did look a bit pasty?) The woman leaned into my shoulder and looked me in the eye and waited for MY answer! "OH! You mean me??? Yes, I'm a lot better today, thank you so much for asking. " Good Lord! What kindness! I'm overwhelmed! (I lied.)
Anyway, did anyone notice the other weird bit in my little story? I can't taste... My sense of smell has weakened as well. I'm completely disturbed by this. My appetite has diminished. I'm lost without this sense. I think this is actually THE END of Skinny Chic... I WROTE A COOKBOOK people! Lol. *shrugs shoulders* I can still taste sweet things but am not able to differentiate between the flavours of sweetnesses, for instance all of the snakes taste the same to me, I no longer think, "oh but I don't like the green ones..." They're all just sweet... *sigh*
Here was my favourite food...
