Thanks to a cold, I've lost my senses of smell and (for the most part) taste (coffee you can't smell is not-so-good). And then today I left a significant part of my hearing in the higher elevation at my grandparents'.
I guess it would be a good time to go to a loud, smelly place. So long as it didn't hurt to be extremely disoriented and slightly off-kilter. Hmmm.
From a semantical perspective, I have never associated this having-a-cold feeling with the phrase "losing your senses," or "have you lost your senses?" or "are you out of your senses?"
Somehow it seems like losing your senses -- at least the way I would've pictured it -- would be more fun.

I guess this blog censors Arabic. Wish I could figure out why...
Don’t worry; it is all in your head. Just watch out for spiral staircases.
I hope you are better soon!
Thanks, Sean, for the official diagnosis! :) Now I remember the last time I felt the whole disoriented, off-kilter deal. I wonder what the Greek is for "fear of spiral staircases." Scratch that -- I wonder what the German is. That probably sounds more like I feel.
Furcht vor Spiraletreppenhäusern. Get better!
LOL. Danke, Herr Huber! That's exactly how I feel! ;)
