Okay, I’m trying to hold out as long as I can before admit defeat and turn up the heat. I rather enjoy the $35 dollar a month heating bill versus the $100+ heating bill that we have to endure from October to about March. It is not that it is freezing outside quite yet, but as I said in my previous post, it is rainy, gloomy, and the Fall 69º does not exactly feel like the Summer 69º. I don’t mean to brag, but I think last week Jonathan and I got in the hot tub every night but one to get warm to the bone before climbing into bed for the night.

I am such a meany about the “no heat yet” issue too. A couple of days ago Jonathan and I were watching a movie and he got up and turned on the fireplace. I told him that if he was cold to put on a sweatshirt, socks, wrap up in a blanket, and if he was still cold, then he could turn on the fireplace. He went and put on a sweatshirt, socks, came back to the chair wrapped up in a blanket, sat down, and said “I’m still cold.” I laughed and told him tough. He would warm up eventually.

There is a plus side to the weather changing though. My legs get to don their winter coat because the shaving becomes farther and fewer between, which also helps hold the socks up.
