For fun times? Read The Stand while wracked with a severe fever from a flu you caught from everyone else you know. Good times, good times.
I LOVE doing that! In fact, I re-read The Stand when I had Swine flu last year. It was funny. To me, at least.
But yeah, we have a thermometer.
We have a couple of thermometers because last time we needed one, I couldn't find it.
I bought a thermometer after being diagnosed with pneumonia a couple of years ago. The doctor took my temperature (which was 102), looked horrified and asked how long it had been that high, and I had to confess that I had no idea.
We bought a thermometer on the way home. I proceeded to accuse it of being broken when my temperature refused to go below 101.5 for the next five days. When the fever did finally break, I had to admit that maybe it wasn't the thermometer's fault.
I go back to work tomorrow after a 5 month maternity leave. I know I'm WAY fortunate to have had that long, but I'm so sad at leaving my baby without his breasts Mama. He will be in very capable hands (his Mommy's), but it will be the first time I've been away from him for more than 2 hours since he was born. Eff this work thing!
{{{{Glam}}}} Tons of strength for you tomorrow.
I have a thermometer because I without i just think maybe the room is hot even with a high fever. Or I'll think I have the ague for no reason at all. Thermometer keeps me a little saner.
Eff this work thing indeed, Glam! I hope you get to enjoy lots and lots of sweet baby time evenings and weekends and he expends all his grumpiness and whatnot on your lovely wife (not that she deserves it, that just goes with the extra baby time)
Yay Nora and Tom in NO! I hope Tom's first days of work are fantastic and y'all's NEXT weekend is more like it's supposed to be.
I read
The Stand
over a weekend when I was also obsessively listenting to a Howard Jones album. I can't hear him anymore without getting creeped out.

I'm not convinced you need
The Stand
for that. All you need is to listen to "Look Mama I Love You" in the wrong kind of mood.
{{{{Glamcookie}}}} that's a tough transition to make. May it go as smoothly as possible.
