I’ve worked since last week to figure out what’s going on in my head.
Yes, as you’re thinking it anyway, people who know me have long puzzled over the blarney in my noggin.
I mean something different today. Let’s call it the Ear Fever Spread.
I got onto this topic because I’ve just come through Covid. These days, Covid is boring, hardly worth noting. But the Ear Fever Spread, or EFS? Now that’s fascinating.
The EFS is the difference between digital thermometer readings in the left and right ears. My ears, based on about three dozen readings in the past week, are w-a-a-a-a-y out of sync. As in wacko.
My EFS was consistently at least 2 degrees and often more. A typical measurement: 98.2 degrees on the left, 101.4 on the right. Or 96.1 on the left, 99.3 on the right.
The right ear must be dominant, judging from how I felt at each reading. The left ear, it seems, leans toward dodgy optimism.
And now you may puzzle over the blarney between my ears. If you think it necessary.
