No Sakura Mitsuda for me...
My temperature last week, while I was really feeling sick: 98.6°.

Yesterday, as I started feeling somewhat better: 97.2°.

Today: 96.8°.

I'm improving, though I'm still coughing constantly and my right eye is getting puffed up.

I haven't taken my temperature in years and years. When I was a kid, I got sick a lot, and my parents seemed to base their decision on if I should be sent to school entirely on if I had a fever (i.e. over 100°). Once I got to college, I could make that decision myself, and based it on how healthy I felt, and as such stopped bothering to take my temperature. (I also started getting sick much less - probably due to a combination of far less stress and misery along with not having to wake up at 6AM every single morning.) I do remember noticing when I was young that I never ever had a temp of 98.6°...

Nope, you're wrong. You do not have a temperature of 96.8, because no human being in the history of the species has ever run a normal temperature of less than 98.6. I don't care how many times you've taken your temperature, you're still wrong. Every single human being runs exactly the same body temperature.

At least, that's what all my doctors have told me when I complain of feeling feverish and turn up at 98.7. Never mind I've always run at 97.6 my entire goddamn life...

Glad to hear you're starting to feel better, though!
