Tasteless, odourless

Gunky headed
So, five days into the flu, I still can’t smell, which means I can’t taste anything I’ve been eating, my ears and nose are gunked up and I feel like crud. Still.
The great thing about the whole exercise is that I don’t know if the food I’ve been making myself tastes good or not. The not so great bit is that I don’t feel like eating until I’m too hungry, and by then trying to get something that goes down easy takes another hour to conjure.
Does aromatherapy work if you can’t smell?
I think so! I started out not smelling anything today in the office. Then after lunch, I turned the burner on, and tried 4 drops eucalyptus, 4 drops lemon, 2 drops peppermint, 2 drops lavender. It was about an hour to an hour and a half ago. Now I can smell little whiffs of it. But I don’t feel any real difference besides being able to smell.
A steady supply of lavender
I think I’m going to need a larger supply of lavender. The bottle I got from Naturally thinking is about half consumed. That’s 5ml. And I managed to do it in 1.5 months.
