It’s cold…and I’m cheap…

Okay, the thermostat in my house read 63 degrees yesterday–I had to do it—I had to break down and turn on the heat. 63 in the middle of the day, that’s just too cold, isn’t it? I mean how many layers can I wear and be able to wobble around at all?
I’ve already been doing a fair imitation of my dad in the seventies. “Who left the light on in here?” “Close the door, you’re letting the cold in!” I have even been known to pee in the dark. I mean, you know where everything is, right?
So, how about you? With the gloom and doom warnings about this winter’s heating costs, what are you doing to prepare?

  1. I bought a gently used townhouse, and turned the heat on for the first time. I was greatly relieved when the heat came on, the smoke alarm remained silent, and nothing caught on fire.
