P-C, do you have a thermometer? I feel like a hypochondriac whenever I ask people that, because invariably they don't, but then I say, "But you need to know if you have a fever!" and they look at me like I'm Howard Hughes in the really bad, keeping-pee-in-a-jar days.
But seriously. Get a thermometer.
I think the only people who have them are parents of young kids, and me, Howard Hughes wannabe.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go put new gloves on and cover the plants with kleenex.
I don't have a thermometer. I did wish I had one yesterday. The best part was that since I just read Feed, the whole time I was shaking I thought I was going into viral amplification.
I should probably buy some Tylenol that isn't expired too. The headache is a little better after ibuprofen. If I weren't intending to drive later today, I would take some of my expired Vicodin. For kicks.
for the record, I own a thermometer, and I do not pee in jars.
No, just tired eyes and a headache. It's been a long week with long, busy days and early mornings. I felt all out of sorts yesterday. I wonder how I got infected. It was a meeting with people from all around the country, so maybe someone brought along a virus. Or it could have been in the packed Make-Out Room on Friday night.
I also own a thermometer! I may even have two, because I think at one point I stole one from work (...we had a ton that we were sending out to sites for the patients, and I needed to take my temperature to see if I had strep throat again! Um.)
Hope you feel better soon, PC.

We have three digital thermometers, including one that takes your temperature in thirty seconds. (I am a sickly child and The Girl is a hypochondriac.)
I have a tape thermometer. It lets me know when I actually have to go to the doctor to get antibiotics.
I am horribly blase about temperatures, since I had tonsilitis about 3x a year when I was a kid, and a "high fever" to me is anything above 102.
D. was freaking out when M. had a 100 fever, and I was all "Really? Water and some baby Tylenol, and wait 3 hours."
Possibly, they chopped out my maternal gene, since I was rather heartless about his stitches getting removed, also. "I do this for mt CATS -- quit whining, I've got tweezers."
