Hospital week. It's hard work...and these are the newborns. 9 months ago there was no pandemic so prospective parents were busy trying to make little copies of themselves.
No visitors at the hospital. They have a crew with an IR temp scanner at the door to scan your forehead. Each day I kept getting colder readings 97.8...97.6...97.4. By the third day I was pretty sure I needed my thyroid checked but then I realized it's an IR scanner ..it's just reading skin surface temperature even if the put it over the temporal artery....so the last day I park as close as possible and stick my left temporal area inches away from the Korean A/C vent in the snazzy sports car. I wait 2 minutes until my teeth start to hurt then I walk in the shade up the door meditating to keep my heart rate down.......96.4...IT'S A NEW WORLD RECORD!
