Sorry to hear. Hope you murder the bug quickly.

[jon-nyc]

Ugh. Sorry to hear. I hope you kick it soon.

Fever is down to 98.1 this morning. No Tylenol in 13 hours.

[Jolly]

Keep up the acetaminophen regimen.

[Doctor Phibes]

That sounds very hopeful - I hope it continues easily

Good to hear man

[Mik]

97.8 at about 3:45 this morning. Got up a bit after 8, feel better than yesterday, just has that body feeling of a low grade flu. My thermometer went on the fritz, so out to Amazon for a couple new ones. No coughing this morning, and Janet, still asleep, hasn't been coughing either. I have to think the body is handling it pretty well.

Are they any better than they used to be?

I still have an old reliable in the medicine cabinet - mercury in glass.

[Mik]

Yeah, pretty good. We've had this one for 20+ years. But physics will always beat electronics.

NIST won't do mercury anymore. Darn government.

@Mik Hope you continue to get better.

How do you tell them apart?

[Mik]

@George K You really went there.

[George K]

Come on man, after a slow pitch like that right over the plate, how could I resist?

[Jolly]

When do I get my money?

[Mik]

Feeling much better today, temp normal with no tylenol. Curiously this one doesn't seem to be morphing into runny nose and bad congestion like the other times. Janet's still a day or so behind me, but she's downstairs now on the couch having coffee.

I think the cats are as upset as anyone. Their whole routine is off. Sat outside Janet's door all day.

[Jolly]

Virus is morphing.

That's the one big advantage of Covid - you lose your sense of taste.

[Mik]

Um...not sure that particular example applies here.

But I've never lost taste or smell. Can't smell much because my nose is plugged up, but no loss of the sense.
