Oh, they can totally be drafty. I guess what I want is a fireplace like the one I grew up with, that Dad adjusted with fans and whatnot so the cold air stayed out and the warm air (sans smoke) mostly came into the living room.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

60 upstairs, windy as shit outside and not going to get out of the forties. My sinuses hate me.
So I too, just turned on the heat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've had the heat on for weeks here -- I hate being cold! But I do regret forgetting to turn it down when I went to bed last night.

Punishingly Intricate
Turned on the heat for the first time and sort of figured out how to turn on the new heated floor in the bathroom.

Until this morning, my house never got below 63 and that was doable. I could probably have dealt with the 60, but for the wind gusts sneaking little cold fingers in. I think it is 50% mind game. And my sinuses hurt and I have to do work outside.

Oooh, if my bathroom floor was independently heated, I might've lasted longer.
That was the other thing: toilet seat was a little bit of a shock. (Bathroom is one of the draftier rooms due to skylight & vent.)

Below 66 inside, I can't deal.

the new heated floor in the bathroom.
Oh, wow. Nirvana.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was 30 this morning when I went out for breakfast. All the cars had frost on them, and one car also had shit smeared on the driver's side window and mirror. Wtf?
The car was illegally parked but that seems excessive. Plus a lot of trouble to go through.

Timelies all!
Quiet morning here.
