I’m sure there is no cause for concern, even though today’s ConWorkShop theme is Feeling under the weather. There is absolutely no reason to assume you have caught Schnurdlich’s Disease just because you are feeling off your feed. Only hypochondriacs (vitupipi) are susceptible to Schnurdlich’s Disease anyway, so you can be perfectly reassured of continuing good health. And if symptoms persist, avoid strenuous exercise and just walk it off.
