i think the hydrogen peroxide bath helped, but my feet have lost layers. they were red last night as these leaves. i don't know if each new skin will be viable or succumb to the fungus. i have a band aid over the crack in the head line of my left hand. r. says i always say my immune system is compromised. either i'm a head case, or it was compromised and has become more dramatically compromised, or i'm a head case and i simply have a head-chest cold and tinea pedis. but why. whatever is the case, i'm in a fragile state. i have to keep walking and the weather keeps moving inevitably toward winter. by friday it may snow. we already had frost and that one brief hail storm. a lone dog walker has to keep walking. i think the only way to be a dog walker when you are sick is to have a helper. but then what does the helper do when you are healthy? 
this is mundane, but all sentient beings can relate, all struggles and strife, all joys in life, are mundane, are wonderful, our singular sufferings and common loves link us to the rest of us creatures of earth.
