My Grandmother has been sick for 4 days, and just today told us that she didn't have a thermometer the whole time. My Dad has been running a fever that has been spiking over 102 deg. F this weekend, and my Grandmother doesn't even know what her's is.
So, I ran out to the drug store (the drugstore department in K-mart actually) to get her a thermometer. While I was choosing a good one for her, I realized that I don't have one either. So I got one for myself too. A nice digital one that beeps when it's done. (I gave the same kind to my grandmother too.)
Which leads us to the live-blogging. In the interest of ...well, no one really, I will be live-blogging taking my temperature. This should take about 60 seconds.
OK. Here goes. I'm turning on the thermometer.
It's resetting.
I've got it in my mouth.
Waiting.....
Waiting.....
Waiting.....
It's beeping!!!!
98.5 deg F
I'm healthy! (Well, physically anyways...)
