Another fun day! This morning at around 2 am I woke and I was burning up. I thought it was just really hot in the room and the dog was next to me. Then I realized the dog was not next to me and the room was not really hot, I was really hot. I grabbed the thermometer that I had downstairs since I got the booster shot and it read 100 degrees. I rarely ever get a 100 degrees reading since I am on steroids for my rheumatoid arthritis and steroids suppress your temperature. I waited a fair bit and sort of watched TV and drifted in and out of sleep and took it again later and it was 99.6 degrees. Then I did the same thing and some time later it was 99.1 degrees. Then I fell asleep until the morning and my temp was normal. I am not sure what happened but I blame myself for doing so much yesterday. I probably over did it and my body reacted. I did Google "menopause hot flashes" but I found out hot flashes do not raise your core body temperature. Interesting fact I didn't know. Plus I haven't gotten a hot flash yet that I noticed.
Of course, I had that moment where I thought oh, god did I get Covid but I was okay today with no fever or anything. I obsessively took my temp and my pulse ox. I am fine. I took it very easy sitting on the couch. Now I have gone to bed at 8pm.
It was a horrible air day today so we had to keep the windows and doors closed. Everyone is talking with a rasp here from breathing in all the smoke in the air.
Lucky is not limping anymore but is favoring that leg so she is staying home too. I am giving her pain killers to keep her immobile. She is not happy about the bad air since all she wants to do is lay outside.
I made a fast and easy dish today. Roasted Red Cabbage. It turned out really good.
It is yellowish because I put spices on it: turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Yum!
That is about all for today. It was a busy day doing nothing.
Until tomorrow...
