Well, I must be getting old. For my whole life, my body temperature has been high. Always.

I sweat like crazy in the summer and usually perspired just as much in winter. This has made it hard for me to dress appropriately for the cold weather. Dressing in warm clothing made me overheated and I’d start to perspire and, suddenly, I was soaking wet and out in frigid temperatures. Not an ideal situation.

For years in my work environment, I was the hot one. When people complained the office was too cold, I was merely comfortable.

But now — now, I am feeling the cold. I feel it not only outside, but I am often cold in my house. In the days of yore, I could wear shorts and flip-flops all winter long in my house and be comfortable.
