Hot Flash or Fever?

Yesterday was a hugely busy day.

After it was all said and done, kids washed, teeth brushed, dishwasher running, washer and dryer going, middle school homework started . . . I stood standing at my husband saying “it is hot in here or is it just me?”

His reply, “again?  how many days does a hot flash last?” and at his suggestion I took my temp and sure enough I had a fever!  All this time I was hot and cranky . . . feeling guilty for not being joyful.  So with the diagnosis of sickness.  I went to bed.

I woke up at 5 and began cooking–I’m writing a cookbook.  A breakfast cookbook.  It requires that I get up early and actually make the food that I’ll be writing about . . . this morning was pumpkin muffins, an absolute success!

I’m taking Tylenol to keep the fever at bay . . . I felt pretty good until . . . the whole room became very warm.

I think it should be a rule:  a hot flash or a fever, but not both!  FYI:  Tylenol does NOT stop a hot flash.

Be blessed.
