A waterproof iBook, so I can type in the bath, stat.
I’m sick and achey today. A submersible laptop would make everything better. Plus, I could use all that excess heat from the battery to keep the water hot longer.
Update: TSG, if you’re reading this, I am lying on the couch with your fish hot water bottle on my sternum, between my t-shirt and my hoodie. Under these conditions, its warmth and comfort approximate those of a strangely undemanding newborn. There’s a reason why high school health classes give teenagers sacks of flour to lug around as pretend babies, and not hot water bottles. Thank you.

Is it a head and chest congestion?

Puffy tonsils, tender innards and sensitive skin, thank you for asking. Congestion may arrive later though. We can hope.

I just got over this last weekend. Still have a nagging chest cough. Still feel tired and run down. But on Sunday, oh, that was fun. Around midnight my fever hit 102. I closed my eyes, and the insides of my eyelids were flashing. greeaaaaat.
Lotsof sleep, and for gods sakes, drink as much fluid as you can. I found an even mix of ginger ale and apple jouce was soothing and cooling.

By the way, I do actually know how to spell juice.

J-o-o-s-e, right?
You’re not suggesting I caught this over the Internet, are you?
I’m glad you didn’t die from your fever. I think I’ll follow that ginger ale suggestion.

I am always reading your blog. I am glad it has come in handy. The Milopian Tube sends his kisses and snuggles and wishes he could be keeping you warm on the couch.

TSG: Ahhh! I totally forgot about the nickname “Milopian Tube!” For anyone reading and confused, it refers to a daschund named Milo. (What do you mean you’re still confused?)
L: Mmm soup. I just might steal your stees. I have pumpkin left over from making pumpkin cranberry scones. I have pear leftover from… can’t remember. (What kind of freak has half a pear? Me.) I don’t have ginger, but that’s easily remedied.
