So, I’ve had what has to be the flu, for the last four days. Body aches, cough, blah blah blah. Yesterday, I had a moment where I was certain it was over. I felt fine. The mental haze lifted, I wasn’t coughing, and the aches and pains, despite a lack of painkillers, had gone away. Ei-Nyung had picked up a bit of a cough, though, so I figured, I’ll bundle up and take Mobius out for his evening walk, so that she doesn’t get worse.

Of course, despite four layers on top, and two on the bottom, and wool socks, I instantly froze, going outside. I guess since you have to say, breathe in the cold air, there’s only so much you can do to insulate yourself. Instantly, I knew that I had set myself back by a substantial amount. The aches came back, the wheezing, etc. Gah. Stupid.
