I know there is something wired a bit funky in my brain, but it just adds to my coolness!
I know I am below average in something, and sometimes alright with it. Especially when the heat is on!
When my husband says it's like sleeping next to a corpse at night, I am totally not offended.
Have I lost
The average body temp for people is 98.6, right. That is just an average though. There are those very few who may be a bit above or below. I am below average with a core resting temp of a charming 96.8, cruel irony I know. Add in the BP that's super low and it makes for fun times let me tell you.
I am rarely warm, I know I am getting sick when my temp hits the average, and by then I am about to crawl out of my skin. The hubs has always been light-heart ed about it, and cracks jokes.
For instance last night when it was midnight and I was eating a Popsicle (blue bunny banana, 'cause they are the best!). He was like, "Great now you are gonna complain about freezing!" I countered with, "No, I feel hot. I have to cool myself down." All supportive and shat he then says, "What you get your body temp to normal!?" Wow, totally feeling the love, he begins to reminisce about the time when I freaked out the anesthesiologist with my body temp/BP (72/40 was the BP). "Ha ha, he asked if you were dead!" I was awake and sitting in a chair being prepped for a breast reduction. Had I not been trying to calm my nerves (n was putting myself in a meditative calm state) I would have A. slapped him for laughing at the comment AND B. slapped the dude for mentioning death before he rendered me unconscious.
So yes, by nature, I am cool. A whole 1.8 degrees cololer with out even trying! I walk around in the heat of the summer perfectly content while others are sweating up a storm, sometimes in socks even. But, body doesn't like the temp swings so I have to bundle up till my body adjusts. Then I am fine to go out with my coat unbuttoned, etc. Weird I know! And before you ask, I have had the ol' ticker checked out and it has nothing to do with my heart. It's all my brains fault.

I always knew you were cool
LOL! I usually have a pretty low BP too! With my first pregnancy my doctor started freaking when my BP went up to a normal range.
Me too! I wear sleeves in the summer and sweaters inside and at the theater. My step son once said I had 'dead' hands -- gee, thanks......I am like a snake, and am never warm. I sleep under three blankets with my nose peeking out, and watching TV have a shawl wrapped around my leg.....
