When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fuck your wife, Gud. Seriously. Anyone who's angry at someone with a fever of 106 (!) is not a good human being.

And that is like the lowest possible bar! Don't be actively cruel to someone who's so sick! But she can't do it.

What if she's right and I am just a jerk. I dunno. At least I'm not doing as bad now. Been between 100-104 today, though I'm not feeling 100% there mentally.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Gud. I'm sorry you are sick. Nobody could be better off without you than with you and I'm so sorry you feel like that's a possibility. Hang in there as best you can.

Most important Gud -- have you seen a doctor? A fever as high as 104 is serious, no matter if it ISN"T Covid. You are not going to be able to think straight if you have a high fever (people get hallucinations for a reason, seriously) so your thinking is impaired.

Fever of 106 is GET YOUR ASS INTO AN ER AND LET YOUR WORTHLESS SHREW OF A WIFE DEAL WITH IT time, Gud.

Oh Gud, honey, don't do this to yourself.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...just under 106 on Friday...between 100-104 today

Yikes.

Rest. Fluids. You know the drill.

I'm not feeling 100% there mentally.

I had a fever one night early last April (common side effect of a treatment I had just received to prevent bone density loss) that briefly hit 100° F and I could barely get from my bed to the bathroom. And you're trying to fix a laptop? Wow.

And I emphatically second all that Theodosia posted just above.

Oh yeah, another effect of high fever can be seizures. Please consult with a real medical person, at least.
