Wish it would cool down here. Been in the 90's. Very unusual for us. This is usually the start of our rainy season.

All electric heat here.
I had to turn on not just one thermostat, but 7 of them for the whole house! Some are turned lower than others but all at either comfortable or tolerable levels.

Trying to stretch it out as long as I can
My gas bills are sooo outrageous, and want to make sure I wait until the high electric bills from the summer are done coming. My husband might freeze, but thank goodness I have this huge fleece housecoat to keep me warm

it was down in the 30's last night. I didn't turn the heat on though. Cause as this pregnant stage, my air conditioner is gonna be on today. Its only supposed to get up to 59, but I live in a trailor and the sun makes it really hot in here. Forget opening the doors, to many animals animals and critters running around here, and we have to screen door.

Had to do it here this morning too .. we lit the furnace one day last week but set the thermostat at 60 so it hasn't kicked on yet .. today I bumped it up to 65, and it kicked on .. I don't know the temp outside, but I can say it is damp and chilly!!
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.
