More than 3-weeks on, and I woke this morning with a temperature of 100.1. I’m sure some of it has to do with stress and lack of sleep, but still. Time to go to the doctor, I think.
Back later.

Totally lack of sleep. If I don’t get enough sleep (and especially if I don’t get enough sleep for a few days running), I’ll get a low-grade fever, sore throat, and leaky sinuses. A good night’s sleep fixes me right up.
Maybe you should take a nap today.
Me too (been infected with something(s), I assume) for over three weeks now, pretty low-grade though, on the whole. Let us know what you hear back.
All you sickies can just stay away from me .
carrot juice! That’s my favorite especially when I’m sick or hungedover
heh, gee Carin, aren’t you doomed to necessary contact with whatever bugs are going around just on the strength of having two kids going out into the world to harvest and bring the agents back, let alone five?
I’m going to go drink some echinacea tea, now.
I coughed on my mouse. The electrons will carry the disease right to you, Carin.
You’re welcome.
I’m sure the lack of sleep has contributed to the lingering, Jeff. So do see the doctor. I took a turn for the worse and over-the-counter stuff was not doing a thing for my fever and blinding headaches anytime I was more than a couple degrees off horizontal.
I’m still home but feeling better — just struggling with swallowing horsepills aka amoxicillin/potassium and feeling like I couldn’t fight off a pissed-off hummingbird.

I’ve only got two that go out into the world. The other three are still safely ensconced in my home school cocoon. They’re making cup cakes right now.
Knock on wood, but I rarely get sick. Same for them.
Hope all of you sickie dudes/dudettes get to feeling better…
Oh… Sinister Twatwaffle can FOAD.
That is all.
feeling like I couldn’t fight off a pissed-off hummingbird
You’d be surprised what one of them beasties can do even when you’re feeling fine. Think you can knock one of dem gize out of the air? Think again.
Also, it sounds like Jeff needs a stiff dose of antibiotics and about 18 hours of sleep straight through.
Hope you feel better, Jeff. I’m recovering from appendicitis. Had it cut out on Friday. That was fun.
I coughed on my mouse.
That’s gotta be code for something. And not something good, I’d wager.
No, it wasn’t, Squid.
Try the veal.
I coughed on my mouse. The electrons will carry the disease right to you, Carin.
Maybe it would if I were one of you lesser mortals. BUT I AM A MOM OF FIVE.
I cannot get sick. I stay healthy through a shear force of will.
Do you have any idea what five kids could do to my kitchen an laundry room if I was sick for any amount of time.
I get ill just thinking about it.
Go see your doctor.
Bill Kristol makes an internet appeal for funds support to Dennis Kucinich’s Republican opponent Peter Corrigan, now trailing Kristol says, by only 4 %. How sweet will it be to see the likes of Kucinich along with the Barney Franks and John Dingells gone from Congress?
OT: something my father said to me last week just came to mind. Paraphrased, “I try not to give offense by accident. I want the person to know I meant to offend them.”
Random neurons are firing, I guess.
Emergen-C, B-12, and good whiskey.
Not necessarily in that order.
Oh, and sleep.
You’re gonna have to do that dude.
Also, I didn’t know Carin had five kids! Wow. That laundry room has gotta be crazier than the mail room in The Hudsucker Proxy. Whew!
“You kids get out of here and behave or one of you is gettin’ a Blue Letter!”
You’re a woooseee. And I say that from behind my fake name to reinforce my own bravery.
Ninja.
Hey, Northern observer, you can kiss all of our asses.
Started driving to urgent care and realized we’d forgotten the insurance cards.
Now I have to wait until after I pick my son up from school. Incidentally, he got put on amoxycillin a couple days back. So I’m hoping they’ll do me the same favor. My wife, too.
That sucks.
On the plus side, if you have an infection the antibiotics will have you feeling better pretty quickly.
Also, sleep.
Hey! I just found out Rand Paul is one’a mine!! LMFAO. Never knew. His Dad’s an idiot, but I gotta support the NoZe.
This is some serious desperation from ‘ol handsome Jack “I’m all about me some Bill Clinton and baby murder” Conway. I mean really? Claiming that, in his teens and early 20’s, your opponent once basically wrote for a local version of The Onion.
That’s all you got? Fucking seriously?! You just made yourself look like a fool and you’ve now made your opponent cool with the yutes.
“How To Flail Like an Idiot: 101”
I don’t remember that class at Baylor.
Dear Lord. I’d kill to get a copy of the next Rope.
By the way, who still uses AOL?
I didn’t know AOL still existed.
AOL > AOL Time Warner > Time Warner.
Whenever I’m Moby Dick I make up a hot toddy of dictamnus, honey, lemon and whisky. Short of fractures, it never fails.
Antibiotics for everybody!
‘Cause one of you jerks coughed on your mouse (I’m looking at you cranky), and now I feel fluish. I’m not an immune superhuman like Carin. I don’t have 5 kids (that I know of).
You better not be Twittering people cranky.
Heads up in the futurama JeffG, always program your insurance co’s 800 into your cell phone and your policy # in the “Notes” ap or whatever. If you ever forget the cards, you can just call that # while at the DR’s office, give your policy #, hand the phone over, and the insurance company will confirm coverage, copay, etc. Your good to go.
Take this from a guy who managed to make it to the ER, lost his his wallet, but kept his cell.
If not for that they’d have bused me to county with the crack heads.
I’m twittering everyone, including you.
Then again, I’m not sick.
By the way, who still uses AOL?
Ted Turner maybe?
And his house servants.
Probably mostly his house servants.
I don’t know about his landscapers. They have their own truck, and thus some freedom. They probably use Yahoo on the side.
Is it slavery if your denied Hotmail or Yahoo?
Beaten and paid a poor wage?
I bet Ted knows.
Get the azythromycin pack. 5 days and you’re done. Generic for Zithromax. Just because…
Then again, I’m not sick.
Obama says you are.
Oh, wait. He doesn’t say you’re sick. Just scared…and stupid. My bad.
You’re also clingy. Scared, stupid & clingy.
Feel the love.
This guy is some kinda uniter, ain’t he?
Plus he’s a like a Greek god and stuff. Just give him a minute people. He’s eating a waffle. Plus T-time is in an hour.
Funny he’d go Greek god with the pillars & whatnot before he got the Office. If I remember my Greek mythology, things never worked out that well for most Greeks when their gods & goddesses got bored and started fucking about. Except for the famous ones. Who are only famous because they managed to survive the various gods’ wrath and/ or kill a lot of people. Though the chaos, devastation & destruction did make the Greeks better people in the end. Democracy & such.
So we got that going for us.
We also now have the Greeks’ present day economy. Thank you Democrats.
Miss me yet?
Yes. Yes I do.
Sliced/rolled very thinly, we might all make a decent Saran wrap substitute.
100.3? Seriously?
Man up. You’re unending catastrophe is some nut bugging you on the Internet, and – unlike most – you have the freedom to spend all day long writing about it and dealing with it and whining incessantly.
Seriously. No offense but … waah. Imagine if you actually had problems.
I’ve seen it written that other than perhaps the human brain, there is no more complex system known in nature to rival the complexity of our immune system. Don’t know whether the claim is so or not, but supposing it is so for a moment, it is little wonder no reliably comparable system exists to automatically deal with minor internet infections the like of the idiot “Dude” here, who I assume is merely one more manifestation of sinitramp/et al.
The reason I posted this was to let readers know why I wouldn’t be posting much today. Which is certainly a better reason for the post than for some of the comments in response to the post.
If you don’t care about me or what’s happening in my life, read someone else’s website. Beyond that, I don’t much give a fuck what you think about me.
No offense. Dude.
You’re unending catastrophe is some nut bugging you on the Internet…
Oh…I’m sorry Dude. You’re four years late to ride this ride.
And fucking clueless.
But you’re smart enough. You’re good enough. And dogoneit, people like you.
Thanks for driving buy.
Dude aka Willie from Murfreesboro TN
I used to think there was no one I’d wish 5150Fr*sch on …
I’ll make an exception in your case, “Dude”.
Well, I for one found Dude’s comment brilliant and compelling, and I would like nothing so much as to know where I can get more of his compelling brilliance.
What’s your website, Dude? Failing that, where’s your favorite coffee house? I’d love to bask in your glory.
Dude, meet the Trollhammer.
Now if I could just find a way to have the Trollhammer identify this git and send him 50,000 volts the next time he touches the keyboard….
Why, yes, I am a misanthrope. What was the first clue?
Dude does have a website… it’s the one that no one goes to (unless of course he is over here trying to drum up traffic by being the biggest fucking douchebag imaginable).
Go back to having amoral relationships with your cat, twatwaffle. It is the only thing your are remotely adequate at.
By the way, “Dude…” how is that lawsuit working out for you?
Still suck.
Got some antibiotics. Hope that does the trick, or the next step is chest x-rays, apparently.
here is some spandau ballet for you Mr. Jeff I know it always makes me feel better
Over at the now-defunct TennesseeFree blog, “Northern observer” claimed to be Willie’s father.
Hey, Jeff, if they’re talking like that, do yourself a favor and take very deep breaths once in awhile. Helps prevent pneumonia.
the next step is chest x-rays
For other reasons, but yeah.
Do go to the doctor ’cause stress and lack of sleep do not cause a temperature of 100.1. Running a temperature is a pretty good indication that you’ve got an infucktion of some sort.
Then again, we did our semi-annual pilgrimage into Denver today — Applejack’s/CostCo — and that stuff you breathe and call “air”? Jeezus, my sinuses won’t be back to normal for two days. And to think that people laugh at me for living in a small town in the middle of nowhere….
