starve a fever, right?

[fox]

it was hot today (by local standards; over 80 degrees this afternoon, again), and i was figuring that had something to do with how i'm feeling uncomfortable (physically; i'm feeling uncomfortable emotionally for a number of reasons in addition to the ongoing disaster that is the post-hurricane melee), but now it's dark out and should be cooler (and it's supposed to get sharply colder tonight, i hear, like down into the 40's with some rain, but it hasn't rained yet so it may not happen until tomorrow), and not only am i not feeling better, i'm not even feeling the same -- i'm feeling worse.  i've taken off most of my clothes, and i still feel hot, but hot on the inside, and my skin feels tight and chilly, and yeah, my temperature's up around 99.

hopefully i'm just hot and cranky, and my temperature is artificially elevated because it hasn't been long enough since i ate hot soup.
