December 19th, 2005 - Managing to keep the heat down

We’ve made it over a month now of keeping the heat at or below 67 during the day. On Saturday, the thermostat dropped to 63, and I managed to let it go until the house temp dropped below 65. I tried to stick it out, but I was just too cold at that point! So I turned it back up, but it had been off most of the day.

I’ve discovered that my cats make absolutely wonderful versions of an electric blanket or hot water bottle. Most mornings, I wake up to one or two of them sleeping on or near me. It’s lovely! (I was going to write a post about this free version of hot water bottle. Until I remembered that Shmi cost of $1000 in medical expenses her first year, and ongoing costs of at least $50/mo between food, litter, and meds for the two of them!)
