Icicles on the Inside

Ive got a stomach "flu" (viral gastroenteritis). Nothing too horrible, no upchucking. But I'm pretty weak and listless, even sleeping makes me tired. Cold causes ghostly joint pain and mild nausea. As long as I stay warm I have no problems.

But every afternoon, while Lisa's at work, I have to walk the dogs. My condition goes downhill EVERY day after the walk.

We're going through a cold wave in the Midwest. It's warmed up to about 10°F (-12°C), but before today we had highs of 0°F or -1°F. I've posted a nice photo of the icicles inside my bathroom.

The biggest annoyance is my diet. No dairy, whole grains, meats, spicy, sour, caffeinated, carbonated or greasy foods. How's a Korean American supposed to do that?

I'd actually be enjoying all this if I had the energy to read comic books. Winding down again, must lay down,
