I didn’t feel very well last night. Feverish sick like I should take my temperature. One problem. My friend used my thermometer a month or so ago and then found out she had viral meningitis (http://lambie-pie.blogspot.com/2006/08/viral-what.html) I didn't have any alcohol to clean it so it’s been sitting on a shelf. I asked around (OK, I asked two friends) and the general consensus was don’t use it. So I went to Walgreens last night and bought the cheapest digital thermometer for $4.99. I took my temperature last night: 97.4. What does that mean?! I took it again this morning: 98.2. Am I sick? Am I alive?
I am returning the cheap-O thermometer and will buy a more expensive (better?) one. And, I will try to find out how to dispose of an old mercury thermometer. I better feel better soon. I’m in charge of the ward Clambake on Saturday!

About Me
- ellen
- I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

Meningitis is Meningitis.
I agree...it is better to use a new one!
A few steamahs is probably just what you need.
You are WAY too cool for that thermometer....*haha* I crack myself up sometimes....
I don't know if I'd trust it tho...Sounds like you have a good plan going there!
Ellen,
Come on over (across the hall) next time something like that happends. I have the kind of thermometer that you put in your ear for one second and it is very accurate. Of course, we do go to bed before 10:00 PM so that is a drawback to this plan...
But if you really feel crumby just wake me up! We also have grape flavored Tylenol :)

Sorry I wrecked your thermometer E!
Love E
ps hope the clambake was fun and dry!
