Ha! I didn't think about that! I have a totally absurd fondness for that song, though, so I don't mind getting sent to Whamhalla.

I haven't finished my self-eval. Ugh. I have to submit it by 11 pm tonight. Right now I'm sitting in the airport in Montreal *not* thinking about work.

It's a good thing I went to check on the soup, the little stinker shut off the crock pot when she went to go get a snack.

Mac has the apartment. I've gotten electricity and renters insurance set up.

Still trying to get closed for month end. Several not my screw ups, but we are almost there.

Yay, mac! Sounds like progress, msbelle. Best of luck with the move.

Sounds like good progress for you and Mac Msbelle.

We had another round of arguments over What Temperature to Keep the House. Especially when the utility bill was paid . It was $260. It is like 55F outside and Matthew's mom had the heat in the main part of the house up to 85 while we were out. So MAtthew got mad and yelled about , his Mom claimed she will get sick if it gets any lower in the house and I'm pointing out if we keep it as warm as she wants it to be the utility bill will be double or triple.

I finally decided the only thing I can do is give up trying to wear anything cold weather related inside the house except when I'm getting ready to leave. I asked if we could agree to leave the temperature for the living room around 68-70 and turn the heat down at night. His mom kind of agreed but started going on about how cold it is and how once it gets colder we may have to turn up the heat and how tonight it is supposed to really really cold. It's 54 F outside and tonight the low should be 36F. Tomorrow the high should be 61 and she's acting like it's below freezing.

But she agreed (although I don't know if she'll keep from adjusting the thermostat) and I ordered a 2 pack of digital indoor thermometers so we can track the heat and be more accurate about how it is.

People do get more sensitive to the cold as they age and circulation becomes poorer. In my dad's case we compensated by keeping the house on the warmish side of reasonable temps and dressing him in warm clothes with blankets handy, not by turning the whole place into a sauna.

Are space heaters an option, so she can crank the heat up in whatever room she's in? Maybe an electric blanket for her room at night?
