The sky is falling routine is getting old. It’s bad neough now online. I’m glad I don’t watch or listen to the news as well. I think it’s unlikely that we will have some epidemic flu. It seems to me that we would have far more cases by now if it was really a problem. I’m not really worried. I’m taking more vitamins. Might as well boost my immune system. I’m eating well.

I often wonder how much diet really plays. Most people don’t eat real food–that stuff that comes in boxes or bags doesn’t count as real food. If it requires salt or sugar to keep it “fresh,” it’s not real food.

Frankly, my biggest concern right now is the dog’s constipation problems. Even if I were sick, this would still be a big concern, since he isn’t making it outside every time he “blows.” He spent nearly three days outside after the last incident–as punishment. So far, so good. I took him outside, and he went. I’ve averted at least one poo disaster today.
