Re: BEING COLD
Because of menopause my personal temp is going from one extreme to another. The spider bites tend to kick up the temp which is good right now.
I have lousy circulation, I often tell people I am really an alien from planet reptilia. My feet are always cold (*even when young, skinny and living in FL, I’d have to stick them in the hot sand to get them warm)
I wear a fleece vest so my back and lungs stay warm.
Cuffs (knit) over the wrist area are wonderful, especially if you are on computer.. Wristlets are another favorite.
I hate wearing tight things around my neck so I have cut the sweat shirts so they look like a sweater. (which ever side has the design becomes the back - doesn’t seem to make a differance for wearablity)
Slipper socks are great as a winter sock. Wear slippers inside, shoes can over heat and you sweat then you get colder. The knitted slippers (K9P9K9 style) are amazing, I had a pair on the other day outside on concrete while my kids were visiting.
Put down carpet where you are standing. Camp (1958 trailer) has no heat except for kero I just toss down extra carpets especially at the table where we sit, do puzzles, play cards etc.
Put the timer on for 30-45 mins and stop and do exercise. Don’t forget to flex feet while on comp

Thanks for the hints, several layers of clothes are on now.
On the haybox cooker, those have been used for many years, I am thinking that the Germans used them before we did.
They say they work.
I have cooked grains in a thermos, over night.
