Getting Warmer

A bummer of a headache. Fatigue. Some general aches and pains. Feeling a little flushed and woozy.

Might be something super serious!

On the other hand, it might be nothing at all.

That’s the thing we’ve all become acutely aware of over these past few years: the amount of overlap that exists between the symptoms of a terrible illness and a sorta rough Wednesday morning.

Which is why you need a good infrared thermometer, like this one. If you’re feeling bad, you can take your temperature. Then, if you’ve got a fever, you know you’re dealing with something. Whereas, if you don’t, you still might be dealing with something, but you can also consider other possibilities, like:

You’ve been spending too much time out in the sun: It sure is nice to get outside this time of year and guzzle some vitamin D. As long as you’re wearing sunscreen, of course, like this stuff, currently for sale on SideDeal. But, there does come a time when you probably wanna go inside, lest you start to feel dehydrated and sun sick.

You’ve been spending too much time inside: The AC is cranked! The house is shut down! The windows are drawn! And you’re taking in the great indoors! It can be nice on some of these hot days, but if you start to feel crummy, that’s a sign you could use some fresh air. Maybe take a picnic lunch. Doesn’t have to be fancy. You can make a quick sandwich, throw it in a reusable Stasher bag (like the ones you can buy on SideDeal), and find a nice park bench in the shade.

You’re just hungry: It is unbelievable how similar being a little peckish can feel to having a low-grade case of the flu. But it’s true. Of course, if it’s mealtime, perfect. Make yourself something hearty. For those hours between, get some snack bars, like these ones, on sale right now over at SideDeal.

You need a drink: Sometimes the thing that’s attacking your body is just a long, annoying day filled with a variety of stressors, both concrete and abstract. Well, there’s a salve for that: a good cocktail. And if you don’t want that thing to get diluted with ice, invest in some cups that freeze, like these ones, which are available over on SideDeal.

Wow, what a coincidence that each of our tips corresponded to a SideDeal product! Amazing!

Anyway, buy a thermometer. Then go to SideDeal and buy some more stuff.
