Clearly I need more sleep.

My cell phone alarm goes off at six so that I can take my temperature.  You know the drill.

This morning, when the digital thermometer beeped, I took it out of my mouth and squinted at it, using the light from my cell phone screen to read it.

(My last thermometer had a backlight, but it was a crappy pink baseball bat of a Walgreens thermometer that I threw out after two cycles.  The one I replaced it with was Canadian, and you have to push the buttons twice to get Fahrenheit, and it doesn't have a backlight, but it's better than the Walgreens one.)

Anyway, this morning.  This morning my thoughts, on squinting at my thermometer, went like this:

"….uh.  how disappointing.  i was expecting a higher temperature."

"….wait a minute."

"….this doesn't make sense."

"….i really hope this thermometer is not broken."

"….i can't even read this. my eyes are so blurry."  *squint harder* "why so many numbers?"

Several more seconds passed before I realized what I was trying to read was the lot and model number from the back of the thermometer, plus the words "Made in India."

Yeah, you guessed it.  Disgusted, I went back to sleep.  Good thing it has a last-temp-recall.
