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°...
