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.

we’ll have dinner when you aren’t contagious. With soup. I’m making pumpkin pear with ginger tomorrow.

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.
OHhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I LOVE LOVE LOVE hot water bottles. Warm love in a rubber sack. Mine has a wolly lamb cover my nana bought me:)
Warm love in a rubber sack, you say… nevermind, I won’t go there.
Lamby! Cute!
