My eyes aren't THAT bad, lol! They're actually getting better. Couple more years and I'll be out of glasses till I'm old.

I used to work in a hardware store and I was surrounded by all kinds of different smells. I love the smell of paint and mixing paint was one of my favourite tasks. Methylated spirits was another favourite of mine and I sometimes used to take the cap of a bottle and sniff some in the back store.

I love the smell of petrol as well and it makes filling up my car all the more enjoyable.

The smell of some people that used to come in wasn't as nice! Plenty of farmers smelling of cow dung, builders smelling of sweat and people who smelled like they spent the morning cleaning a sewerage tank.

IcyHot (yeah, the stuff for muscle pain; we used it all the time in sports, mainly softball. Practicing or playing games 6 days a week'll cause some arm, shoulder, and, in my case as a catcher, knee discomfort)

Old books. If there was an afterlife with only one smell, I'd pick this one.

Grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't know why, but this smell makes me absolutely gleeful, even if I'm not the one eating the grilled cheese.

Greasy amusement park smells from servicing rides. I get to experience those tomorrow/today. So stoked. Even if I am the one paying for four tickets.

Cigar smoke. I seldom if ever smoke cigars, but I love the way they smell.

That weird smell of ozone just before a a severe thunderstorm. Oh, I love it. I'll stay outside until the storm itself is too close for comfort just to experience that one.

Spring mornings where I live. A combination of dewed, freshly cut grass, honeysuckle, and whatever else. It's amazing. I actually love going to work at 8am for that one.

What's too bad? That my eyesight's improving? It was never that bad to begin with, really. Astigmatism and strabismus (which doesn't affect vision really if treated properly.)

Oh, I'm skimming (not reading) - sorry - that's good news, and for myself I meant 20/15 without any correction.
For whatever reason, though, my night vision SUCKS but hopefully that will improve now that I incorporated more variety into my diet.
