Things that are Not Good

On Thursday when I went to donate plasma, I was an hour and a half early. I stood outside in the downtown desert night chill and watched the sun rise.

When they took my temperature as part of the mini-physical, it was 97.3. All my life, my temperature's been low. 97.6, usually. But since moving to Arizona, my temperature has moved up: normal is now 99.1.

A temperature drop of nearly two degrees because of cold is not good. It took me until noon to warm back up, and that was in bed with many warm blankets.

The last time I remember being that chilled, it was from sittin the Dungeon, getting it on with Shawn for the first time... and that was in the unheated basement of concrete fire stairs with ground level windows open to the January Alaska weather outside.
