Ouch! Those are hard times for sure. The last thing you probably need is someone to say look on the bright side but you noted there is one so cool on you.

Ive been in tough spots like that before. I rode my bike to work in the freezing drizzle and it wasnt any fun but I got to work and had icicle tears from the wind. Miracle I didnt catch pneumonia. It was only about a mile but it felt like 10 to me.
