I realized that I was actually sick yesterday - it wasn't just my imagination. My illness didn't have the severity that has come with everyone else's virus (thankfully). I just had a fever, which I very rarely get, so I don't always recognize it when I have it. All I knew was that I felt bad and I looked a bit sallow. Unfortunately, I don't actually own a thermometer and though my mood ring indicated that I was warm, I just took that to mean that I was feeling Happy/Cheerful/Jubilant/ Playful. I knew something was off though, because I was feeling more like Tense/Angry/Stressful, which would have displayed itself as black, rather than dark blue. The lesson learned from this is that a mood ring is not, in fact, a good substitute for a thermometer as I had been led to believe.
For future reference - Other heat-activated things that are not useful for judging the temperature of the human body:
*Solar panels
*Degree deodorant
*Hyper-color shirts
*Thermo-silk hair products
Wow. I haven't thought of my old hypercolor shirt in years (baby blue that turned pink). Good times.
Hopefully your illness won't come with the Hacking Cough of Death.
