What The...?

Every day around this time (it's about 4:30...give or take) my ears get hot. And when they get hot they get red.
I don't get it.
I'm not stressed.
...or embarrassed.
I exercise...on a semi-regular basis (which is of no particular interest to you...but I felt better saying it)
I had coffee...but it was this morning, now I'm on the water...so it's not a result of some caffeine high...

Some people would probably giggle and say "someones thinking about you..."
And I'd say "Ya...it's Ryan...and he's wondering what I'm making him for supper"

But I still have red, hot ears.

Over the years I've learned to listen to my body...because it can tell me a lot. Of course there's the obvious stuff: I'm hungry, I'm tired...yadda, yadda, yadda...
There is also the less obvious stuff:
-I'm not getting enough water (I don't really get thirsty...more of a weird nauseous feeling)
-Mu blood sugar is too high (I feel "wingy"...don't ask...)
-My blood sugar is too low (I feel like I'm really drowsy)
-Too much lying around (my back gets achey)
-I've pushed myself too hard while exercising and my muscles aren't getting enough oxygen (stomach cramps that occur after I've cooled down...they aren't much fun.)
...etc...

But try as I might I can't figure out the hot, red ear thing.
Is my body just trying to tell me I'm a nut?

...hmmmm...it IS a strong possiblilty...

Geepers - I don't know what would cause red ears. . . it could be that you're tired? Probably at that time of day, you're body is trying to tell you something . . . something that is causing blood to rush to your head. . .

Anyways - I hope you have a better camping trip than you had last year - and be sure to bring along a lot of extra clothes. I have a hard time believing that it will be cold in Ontario at this time of year!

Ya...maybe...I'm getting them again today...strange.

Thanks (on the camping bit)...it does cool off quite a bit in August...odd I know...
