Creature Comfort

The outside temperature is mid-range tonight. Which means that my house will be a little on the cool side.  I believe that I have mentioned this before:  when It is very hot or very cold outside, my house is comfortably cool or snugly warm. But at the mid-range temperatures, the heater does not come on as often, and the house stays on the cold side for my taste.

I deal with this in various ways: sometimes I notch up the thermostat. More often, I put more clothes on, or use an afghan to help me to stay warm.  And, I turn on a space heater.   Tonight, I have opted for a space heater in the computer room.  It does not seem to be warming me as much as I would like, although it has in the near past, and is turned on high.

But the evening is winding down, and I shall soon move to the living room, cover up with my favorite throw, and read until it is time to go to bed.  

I have said before I would like a house with a wood burning fireplace and a sun room.  But I am not sure I am willing to get into debt to buy a new house, and I do not want to deal with the remodelling hassle in this house. So, I limp along, and take what creature comforts I can from what I have.   And, I have plenty.
