Mystery Solved?
My husband has been sick the last 4 days. A very bad case of the flu knocked him out for 3 days and finally today he was able to get up and go to work. I've been trying very hard not to catch it from him. But we all know how hard that is when you are living in the same house and sleeping on the same bed.

I'm not sure if I'm just paranoid, but this afternoon my head felt a little woozy. It's been like this on and off since about 2pm. About an hour ago I felt my forehead to see if it's warm. It did feel a little warm to the touch. Again I may just be paranoid but to be safe, I took out the thermometer to take my temperature. It read 97.9. That's lower than normal. I think I'm ok...right?

Yeah, I think I'm ok. I think that's my body's core temperature. Several times in the past, at times when I was sick and took my temperature, I often got these below-normal readings. In fact this might explain why I'm always cold. It takes a very warm day to get me to wear a t-shirt. Even hotter to get me to wear a skirt or shorts. If there is any science to this, I believe that due to the fact that my core temperature is lower than usual, I tend to get cold easier than most people. That explains why I can be in a long sleeve shirt and a sweatshirt when my husband has only a t-shirt on. Mystery solved.
