Hey tutmae--I had a feeling at least you would be awake! I think I may throw my thermometer out the window with yours! When I took my temp this morning it was 98.41!!! So I thought that was pretty high (and I woke up really hot, so maybe that was it?) so I did it again when I was sitting here at the computer--about 10 min. after the first one, and it went to 98.24, then 98.33, then 98.31! I thought once you were up moving around it was supposed to go up instead of down?? I went ahead and used the 2nd temp., but I don't know what's going on with my therm.!!
