My wife was roasting garlic and peppers yesterday and I got a 10-15 second window where I could smell it cooking.

Then it faded away again. Episodes like that are happening more often as the days go by, but this is pretty frustrating.

The brain fog is slowly fading away as well. I credit naps/earlier bedtimes for part of that
