Five things make for posting

1) Recently, when I told my doctor that I've been much more sensitive to the cold over the last eight months, I asked if she had any ideas about why this might be. Could it be oncoming menopause? Could there be something else? What might it be a symptom of, I asked. "Weight loss," she answered. Oh

4) Check your credit rating. Seriously. Right now. Get a credit report and check it. I wasn't checking mine regularly and just got a nasty surprise. Really. Do it. You'll thank me.

How did you go about this? Because most of the offers I get look like spam.

About 1 and 2? Yeah. Definitely yeah. I lost weight over the course of a ski season and had to go to additional base layers to keep from shivering. That was--uh--kinda a clue that the weight was really off.

Also heavier bodies shape beds more than lighter ones. Those old divots don't fit the thinner you any more than your old clothes.--congratulations.

Actually, this bed's only about a year old, maybe a little more. It fit fine when I bought it. Now? It's a little too hard and a little too unforgiving, but I spent too much on it to go get something new so soon. I need to find some sort of solution, probably a serious mattress pad.

#1 - Oh hells, yes. It's June in Seattle. Last Friday I got home, turned my heated mattress pad up all the way and gave it time to warm up, got into my long underwear, wool socks and chenille fingerless gloves, and went to bed.

This is after spending an hour and a half at Banya 5 cycling through three different hot environments for as long as I could stand. (Ok, and hitting the cold plunge and tepidarium in between - but only because it made the hot so much nicer in contrast.)

Yup! Less weight = padding, less insulation. These are good problems to have.

The credit score, less so. Sorry to hear about it!
