We are experiencing wet and cooler weather tonight. The outside temperature is in the mid 50s, and the inside temperature in the low 70s. I put an afghan on the bed as an extra cover, but I have debated about turning on the heater. So far, I have not. I may regret it in the morning, but it does not take long for my heater to warm up the house once it is on.
I always try to be home the first time I use the heater, just to be sure everything works okay.
I had thought about using a space heater in the computer room where I am sitting, but decided not to do so until late in the evening. I just put a flannel robe on over my clothes. I have a pole lamp as my desk lamp, and there are three lights on it. I have two CFL light bulbs in the lamp, and one incandescent light bulb in the lamp, which throws a little more heat. That has helped a little, but not much.
Haiku does not like the cold, and she has been in and out of the computer room all night, complaining. She likes the cat carriers in the closet, where some of the clothes cover the air slots, and her body heat is held in. She spent some time there tonight. But she came back to the computer room, complaining, so I did turn on the space heater, and I have to admit, it feels good. But Haiku disappeared anyway.
Well, Taki and I will continue to enjoy the warm air in the computer room, and maybe Haiku will return. It will soon be bed time, anyway.
