Were your hands getting sweaty?

No, my hands were not the least bit warm. They were, well, tepid. Something changed in my body in the last year or two. They're just not warm anymore. At the moment, I'm inside at home where it's 73º, and I'm warmly dressed. My hands are not exactly cold, but my fingertips are cool. This isn't normal for me. I will mention it to my doctor again. She asked me all the pertinent questions, and nothing else seems to be wrong, but it could be a foretelling of some kind.

I'm glad these huge mittens help. I wonder what temperature they will take me down to.
