I also hate getting dressed in the cold, so on winter mornings, I usually turn the heat way up for the half hour or so between when I wake up and when I leave the house, and then turn it back down when I leave.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My thermostat's on 65 right now, and I have a window behind me open slightly. I like it cool. I love sleeping in a chilly room under quilts. And on quilts. I've stopped using fitted sheets; they're annoying, especially for a restless sleeper like me. I just lay one quilt over the memory foam mattress topper, and put two on top for sleeping under, one thick and one thin, or a quilt and a sheet in warmer months. This works because thanks to my mom and my grandmother, I have 8274645 quilts.

Once it is fully winter, I bet our house temp will be closer to 70, but anything less than 70 has me chilled. The temp last night never got above 69 indoors and I did in fact sleep in a sweatshirt and under covers. If I get out my down comforter maybe I can set the thermometer to 68 at night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why does my boss want to talk about my paycheck issues in the hallway??? I tried to get her into her office to talk about it on Friday, and she wouldn't follow me in, and then she started talking about it again walking down the hall this morning! Should we not be subtle about this kind of thing? (I was supposed to get an increase when I passed my probation, a month ago.)

yeah, you should be subtle. Usually there are policies about discussing pay issues, as in, they should not be shared.
I have done the Fall weed & feed on my whole lawn. YAY!
Now I need to work, like really work, and try to clear out my mailbox so I can justify skipping off a couple of days this week.

This is what I'm saying! Sheesh. At least the increase will be retroactive when it finally comes.

Jesse, if pay increases when you finish probation are normal operating procedure, I might not consider it inappropriate as long as actual amounts are not being spoken aloud.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I can do the trazadone thing. I'm really dizzy this morning, and pretty sure I can't actually drive.
Which is separate, I think, from the marked lack of continuous sleep I got last night. I've also noticed more hypotensive moments (not just at the ER, but also when I stand up) since I started taking it.
I need to call in incapacitated to work today, as well as get the sleep doc's number and call her about the meds.
