When it finally turned off it registered 72 degrees. So that's where I am now. I've had a sweatshirt and shorts on all day. What's up with the running hot and cold? I even filled up my hot water bottle to warm up.

It sounds like what I call perimenopause. I'm currently experiencing it. My tendency to overheat comes and goes, but can certainly become inconvenient and a little embarrassing, on occasion. C'est la vie!
