These are strange times and I have an odd taste in my mouth. The past couple of days I’ve been feeling tired and sluggish, and I don’t know if it’s allergies, stress, Corona, whatever \u2013 I just know that everything has a taste of tart cardboard and I don’t feel like doing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past months have been strange the world over \u2013 everyone is hunkering down in response to the pandemic \u2013 and Sweden has been an outlier in that we’re not quaranteeing or sheltering-in-place but are rather encouraged not to cough on each other and keep our distance. Fair enough, but we’ve ended up with Schr\u00f6dingers flu and until proper vaccins and tests are made available most stuff is in limbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working from home since February means that I’m sitting in the same chair at home most days of the week \u2013 I’m climbing the walls a bit<\/em> so am trying to excercise more often just to get out of the house. But the powerlifting has stalled, and I’m resetting everything into a arms\/legs split with a powerlift focus \u2013 I’m further from reaching my deadlift goal this year than I was last summer, and it’s a bit annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bout of self improvement and\/or masochism I gave up snus<\/em> three weeks ago. The first two weeks were horrible and nicotine withdrawal had me jittering like a methed-up Nick Cage. Being physically addicted is demeaning, and I spent the days having a constant feeling of something missing – jaw working, eyes scanning, hands fidgeting \u2013 and if I could have satisfied the crawing without giving in to the craving (if that makes sense) I would have done anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’m thinking that my lack of taste \u2013 or change of taste \u2013 might be my tastebuds readjusting to a life without a constant stream of snus saliva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
