Schrodinger's virus, performatively speaking. You have to act like you do have it and do your best to avoid infecting others. But you also need to act like you don't have it and do your best to not get it, since even if you don't die, a number of people have had awful experiences post-Rona.

Just putting it out here for all of us who forget about these things (because I did and got slightly freaked out about it for a few days): temp raises a bit during ovulation and generally changes during the cycle. Another fun thing that messes with our minds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They take our temps at work before we start and mine is usually 96ish but has been creeping up aroun d97 or 98
That's got to be close to the ambient temperature, right? I can't imagine that helps, either.

That's exactly right.
In other news, I have rhubarb cake in the oven and the dishwasher running. That may be enough productivity for the day. Oh, except I want to go to Target to return some things. I guess I should do that before it gets too hot, too, since I don't think being in the air-conditioned store will counteract the walk there and back....

the dishwasher running.
you may, or may not, remember that my dishwasher has never run since I bought the place. It actually runs, but no water came out and soap never got dispensed. you know the washing parts. I was all ready to pull it out and watch youtube videos to try and figure out the issue and I started tracing the tunes I could see underneath it to see where they go and LOW AND BEHOLD - a water line to under the sink had a SHUIT VALVE. I feel so stupid, but I think that may have been the only issue and I am running it now (it was starting to smell) and may actually use it for more than a dish drain now.
WHEW!

Timelies all!
Mr. S had a nightmare around 1 last night, and Gary ended up sleeping in his room with him the rest of the night. I ended up giving Nova her morning pill by myself.(which she spit out after I went back upstairs. sigh)
Gary has gone out to look at new dishwashers.
