“a lot of these pieces focus on what you need to buy in order to get through Dry January…What about an examination of the reasons why you drink? That's not sexy, I guess. You can't have an affiliate link for introspection.”

Random #Covid Thought: I have had occasional #phantosmia for 6 years, as a result of a bad concussion. Irritating, not debilitating. I am currently on day 5 of Covid, and as of Saturday my sense of smell/taste is totally gone. Assuming it comes back in a few weeks, will my phantosmia come back too? I'm praying there will be some kind of magical receptor rewiring that brings back normal but also makes the occasional weird metal smell go away. #CovidSilverLinings
