ah jeeze.....that can't be healthy

Well, it's official...the medical community doesn't know why I'm different. I went to the doctor today to get checked out. I don't have the flu flu, but I do have a viral infection...so basically, I have the flu. Bed rest and lots of it is the doctors order. Lots of fluids too. And I have a written excuse through Thursday too, so I'm good to go. Also got an Rx for some cough syrup that has codine in it...too bad it tastes like ass. But onto why I'm different...Yesterday I took my temperature with the thermometer we have here at the house.....96.8, well that's not right. Try again...97.0, damn. Try again....97.4....what in the?? OK, try the mercury thermometer....96.4 degrees....well damn, huh?? So we try one of those stick on teh forehead thermometers...like on the side of a fishtank...102.6. So today at the dr's, thier thermometer only read 97 degrees as well. I dunno what it is, I'm doing it right, but I can't seem to get a true temperature reading...eh, oh well.


Also finally got a new computer today....my old one was past due for an upgrade. I've had it for 6 or 7 years...I bit the bullet and got me a nice 17" widescreen laptop. Even though it's not the same as the one in the link, as mine is last years model, but it's basically the exact same thing. The only difference I can see between mine and the one on the far left is mine uses a nVIDIA G-Force graphics card and not a ATi Mobility one...otherwise all the specs are the same. Haven't really gotten a chance to play it yet...gonna be fun trying to get all my old file fom my old one to my new one....but eh, at least I got a spiffy new computer.
