Heh. I see conflicting advice already. As I expected. It's really such a play-it-by-ear thing. Amy is right that he might respond quickly to the Tylenol, whereas my kids tend to hold onto a fever into night.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Because books.
I'd expect him to spike a higher fever at bedtime or after if he's really sick (because the Tylenol will just soothe the symptom for awhile, not take away the fever), but when it's low-grade and they're not otherwise barfing or coughing up a lung, I'm kind of a hardass about it.
But that's after three kids, and also thinking therapy might not be something you want to cancel this week, after last weekend.

yeah, I am pretty sure he needs to go to therapy. me fear, of course, is h1n1, since there have been outbreaks around our neighborhood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is actually funnier/weirder than it sounds: Cute/Ridiculous Animal Thing Of The Day: Hamster Can't Eat Pencil (VIDEO)
eta:
While this video cannot beat the classic "Hamster Eating Popcorn on a Piano," it can bring you joy in its own right. This little guys doesn't understand that he shouldn't eat a pencil because a) it's not food b) it's too big and c) someone will film him doing it and use it to make a mockery of him on the Interweb.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm having a second cup of tea. I hope living on the edge like this doesn't bite me in the ass.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Facebook?
Yes. It's suddenly become the scourge of my life.
I seem to have wounded myself with a callous shaver. Those things should only be wielded by a professional.

I should make sure to finish the cuppa before 1, just in case. Because that will make a difference.
There was a moldy strawberry in my cereal. I'm traumatised.
I have had three job search-related calls so far today. One looks like it's going to turn into an interview on Sunday or Monday (WTF?) and one sounded like she was going to recommend me to the hiring director for a face to face.

Yay, ita! Fingers crossed on the tea. It's my lifeblood, so.
Yeah, msbelle, I hope it's not h1n1. Ugh.
