"I keep our temp at 77 normally, last night it got down to 73, it was 47 outside this morning, brrrr!"

77??? Jeez, I'd be sweating. I live in a two bedroom apartment in Central New York State, about an hour east of Syracuse. There's a small gas furnace in my bedroom closet. The thermostat is one of the old mercury Honeywell type. It's never been accurate, so I figure it's about 2-4 degrees off either way. It's 12 degrees here at the moment. My thermostat is set at about 66. If I start feeling cold, I throw on a sweatshirt jacket. During the day if I'm sitting on the sofa with my feet up, they are the first thing to get cold. I used to use my heating pad during the winter to warm them up, but I got smart, and bought myself an electric blanket for my sofa, so I've put my heating pad away.

I don't mind the cooler temps, especially if I'm cooking, or cleaning house. We're having our Christmas dinner today, so the oven will be on in a little while, and I'll be running around getting things prepared...and I'll be sweating, despite the temperature being down here.

I use a heating pad to warm up the couch and me...got a big one. My feet...got those slipper socks from Dicks...they’re on sale...they’re great...something makes them warmer than my other pairs.
