It's 6 :27 am and the tea is hot.The anti-winter-blues lights are on and I'm in my down bathrobe because it is freezing in here. Fuzzy tall slippers, too and I need a hat!
In the olden days people wore night caps to bed. And they put hot bricks under the covers before they got in.
I may try that. Every evening I ask, "Is the electric blanket working? Is your side warm at all? Is mine? I can't tell." So now I turn it on a 1/2 hour before I get in and I ask, "Is the electric blanket working? Is your side warm at all? Is mine? I can't tell."
I've asked him to get his pyrometer to check more scientificaly. (pyrometer: a real tool, can you believe it? It explains why he loved to set little fires in the fireplace, burning all kinds of things . When he was 8 he lit a rubber hose on fire and threw it into the creek where it proceeded to float and bubble down the stream. He was craving a pyrometer!)
So, I'm obsessed with my electric blanket and am coveting the ones I see in the stores. I want a brand new blanket so I can KNOW if I'm warm when I climb in at 7 pm and ask, "Is the electric blanket working?"

Re: wearing beddy-bye nightcaps.
Sometimes HubbyDear wears a knitted skullcap to bed, along with his heavy socks and sweatclothes. Shades of 'Rocky'!
On 'Little House on the Prairie' I'd see the girls with their nightcaps on and figured they didn't want house mice getting tangled in their hair at night!
My husband is wearing two sweaters and two pairs of socks - we WERE heating the "BIG" room up with the oven and camping out in there, but now the OVEN doesn't work........so it's back to sweaters and socks again
OH >> well our deck has been WHITE AS A GHOST ALL DAY LONG LATELY, But thankfully it warms right up to 40 by noon! what's with the word verification anyway, who CAN'T read those? someone with woooooozy eyes?
The husband is warm, the wife is freezing, then soooo hot, then freezing. The covers go on and off and on and off.
Then the basset jumps into the middle and at least my feet are warm. Trouble with that is, my pillow seems to have sand and dog hair on it when I get home from work?!
There seems to be a lot of whining here.The answer is simple,MOVE TO HAWAII!!
