Where is my watch?

Who would have thought that, in our lifetime, we would be living through a global pandemic?  Certainly, not I!  I heard horror stories from my mother and my grandmother about tuberculosis, polio, cancer, etc., but in our time, with our knowledge, technology, communication...can't happen.   It all began so slowly...I remember watching the Today Show and hearing about some bats in China.  Chinese bats are far away.  Now, I'm wondering which mask I should wear today.  (oh, that was a rhyme!  Yay, me!)  Which mask!  Should I make masks to match my outfits?  Does anybody care?   I am 65 years old, and I have a pacemaker. I'm not supposed to leave my house.  Not because I will infect anyone, but because I have a "compromised" immune system.  My husband has asthma and a heart condition.  He needs to stay home, too.  This is WAY TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS!!!

I have something called hyperosmia.  It means I am super-duper sensitive to smells.  Smells can make me sick.  For example, my husband likes to toast some God-awful (to me) frozen waffles in the morning.  To me, the smell is so horrible, it awakens me in the bedroom when he is toasting in the kitchen.  Worse, the smell never dissipates; it lingers for hours, making me feel nauseated.  My head hurts and I feel a migraine coming on.
