'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's what I do. I wear snuggly sweaters and flannel PJ bottoms, and I have a throw on each couch. And drink a lot of warm drinks.
When it gets REALLY cold in the winter, I put a space heater under my desk in the office, and put the flannel sheets on the bed.
We have no insulation and no central heating. The house is cold as fuck from November to February. I survive with a space heater in my room, lots of throws around the house, and warm socks.
warm socks
Indeed. I'm very grateful I live in the time of warm relatively inexpensive merino wool socks. So much more comfortable than the rag wool socks I would sometimes get when I was younger, and so much warmer than the cotton sweat socks of old, as well...
Burrell, I'm thinking about it (Nano). I would need to figure out something to write, which is kind of an issue.
I'm thinking about Nano too. I have an idea and characters that have been percolating in my head. I just don't want to put too much pressure on myself, since I'm slowwwwllyy working on getting out of the depresso utter lack of energy and motivation.
My goal is to be revising my first draft while everyone else I know is doing NaNoWriMo.
I have about 10 or so pages. It may not even make it to a novel length, I'm not sure. But I'm writing so I'll take what I can get.
Just write. Something's better than nothing.
We're on the second floor of a six floor building with steam heat, so it can get pretty warm in the winter and we end up cracking a window.
Yeah, its weird, but it keeps our skin nice.
When we were on the third floor, military housing in Nurnberg, the rads went full blast from October through April, and we had to keep a window or two cracked, too. I miss those views, actually.
I do keep an electric oil-filled rad in the back corner of my bathroom. It's set very low, but that's a chilly corner. It's also where the toilet is, and I can put up with a lot, but I've made do with outhouses and now, up with an icy toilet seat I will not put.
I have the heat set to come on when it drops below 63 or so. I'm not proud. I also have throws on every piece of soft furniture, as well as a snuggley cat. I just love feeling cool and cuddling up under things. My apartment is below another unit, which makes for some good insulation above. But I have little faith in the R value of the walls and windows.
