I had to look up "blue rare" as I'd never heard that before. I little more rare than I like it, but I think that I've ended up with that at my house a couple of times. Although, the inside seemed cooler than the definition of 100°F (which is cooler than most summer days here
).
I'm glad that you treated yourself to a day off. Keeping your health in check is a great thing, but you've also got to keep that mental health up.
