for the record, I own a thermometer, and I do not pee in jars.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Even on your road trip?
I own a thermometer.
P-C, any other symptoms?
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.
I think the only people who have them are parents of young kids, and me, Howard Hughes wannabe.
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.)

YET.
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."

My last roommate (before my long stretch of living alone) was a nurse, and she was the same way. If it wasn't over 102, then it was no big deal.
It was really hard to get sympathy from her.
One of the Most Magical things about having a lover is that, when I am ill, he goes into the World, and gets me stuff, like soup and ice cream shakes.
It's really wondrous, after all those years of living alone, and dragging myself out, shaking and ill, to the drugstore.
