Temperature: No that is not a big concern. Normal temps can very but, unless you have symptoms of low thyroid there is really no reason for concern. Also temps can very depending on when it taken during the day.

Things to ponder: Your core body temperature actually varies throughout the day in response to changes in metabolic activity and physical pursuits. It is usually its lowest after a period of sleep (commonly 4AM) and peaks late in the day (4PM). Long distance runners often maintain 101f +/- during the late phase of their run but cool off after rest. Minor variations like you cite are insignificant.
