heating

We've had highs around 55 this week....and it isn't even really cold
yet, first hard frost last night, though....die, bugs, die.

: (Anybody still use coal?)

University of Illinois does...which is why the thermometer on my desk
reads 81° right now.

: So I leave my gas heater off, wear sweaters and other heavy clothing
: during the day, and use flannal pajamas at night. Plus flannal
blankets
: and the electric blanket. The cats think this is an improvement,
since
: the warmth of the electric blanket seeps upwards to the throw that
: covers my bedding. So they are sleeping with me again.

What's wrong with your cats? If they feel cold, they should be right
on you...my cats don't even wait until it gets at all cold, to the
point where I sometimes have to push them away at night. Bexley even
insists on occupying my armpit when I sleep.
