TO HEALTH AND WARMTH

The past couple of days a heat spell hovers like a warm blanket.  Heat is sensual to me.  I toss and turn upon my silk sheets, thinking all kinds of redheaded thoughts.  I could drive a man wild in this weather.  Warm weather is my turn on - my sexual aphrodisiac.  Of course, I have to love the guy - otherwise the fantasies in my head are better.  So guys ...leave me alone on this one.

It's funny, because Hashimoto's symptoms are a low body temperature and most of the time I am freezing cold.  The warm weather comes and it washes over me like a warm bath and suddenly I feel alive.  I do wonder if it is all somehow interconnected and the doctors haven't figured it out yet.

When I have one of my extreme cold spells (where even a hot shower will not warm me) I pull a thick blanket over me and cover the heat vent.  The hot air fills the blanket like a hot air balloon with me in the middle.  The coldness depresses and exhausts me and I fall asleep over the heater.  About an hour later I wake up, warm and feeling better.  It is the oddest thing.  Like a diabetic needing insulin, I need to raise my body temperature.  Both are auto-immune diseases.

I love the feel of sweat on my brow and the urge to strip to the minimum.  I walk barefoot through everything and play my favorite music.  I catch myself singing and dancing.
