Entry 1, day 1

Dear diary,

Something’s off with me, my taste in certain foods isn’t the same anymore, my favorite bagels taste like cardboard…my favorite coffee tastes like dirt…I can’t identify why. Maybe the company changed their recipes…the items are from the same company.

Hopefully that’s it.

On a brighter note,

I have a dinner with my partner today at our favorite spot. I hope my taste situation will improve.

Entry one, pt 2:

Dear diary,

My taste didn’t improve at all. The spaghetti I ordered tasted bland. I knew it wasn’t, I could see the specks of seasonings the restaurant put in the sauce, and I had my partner try it. They said it tasted fine…matter of fact they asked if we could trade, I accepted and tried the steak they ordered.

It’s the same, it just felt like I was chewing rubber with a hint of steak flavor…I’m so confused, what is HAPPENING?!

I can’t be losing my taste…right?

Hopefully, this will be clear in the morning.

Entry 2, day two:

Dear diary,

I just finished breakfast, I tried something new. Eggs and hash browns, I placed a dash of hot sauce on the eggs.

I felt the spiciness of the hot sauce, I felt the fluffiness of the eggs, and crispiness of the hash browns but…still no proper taste, it tasted like nothing, maybe a dash of salt.

This is awful, I can’t even enjoy a meal for the past two days.

I’m debating if I should go to my doctor.

I think I’ll wait…I have an appointment with her coming up anyway, a monthly check up.

Maybe I'll wait till then.

-End of entry two.

Entry 3, day 3:

Today was a work day, I had breakfast there. The taste situation got terribly worse.

Instead of tasting a hint of the sweet strawberry filling of this morning’s doughnuts.

I tasted nothing. Nothing to the point where I couldn’t eat anymore of it. I felt terrible of throwing it away since the coworker that bought them was standing right there, i explained my situation to her, she was very understanding and advised me to go to the doctor early. So I did just that, I left work at 2 instead of 5, went to the doctor.

My doctor was stumped, she said everything was perfectly normal, I was healthy. Nothing out of the ordinary, she gave me some remedies that may bring my taste back, she said it was probably something that just happened at random and it’ll pass eventually.

I hope she’s right.

I hate this..

(Hopefully I did this prompt good, I feel I did decent but ofc feedbacks welcome!!)
