It's a chilly, rainy day and I'm treating myself to some heat!

I think in time we all feel the chill in our bones. Especially this time of year when we are not used to the cold + the damp from the rain. I guess I'm getting old too or getting a rumatisim *LOL* I wish my hubby would treat me to him getting off his tushie to set up our heated blanket on our bed. He's the only one who knows where all the componets are. *sigh* Sadly enough he's the one who's always cold, must not be cold enough for him to set it up.

It's starting to get chilly here and on occasion, I have those days when I just can't seem to get warmed up. I end up taking a hot shower and sometimes it helps regulate my temperature and I get warmed up. Sometimes I think it could be mind over matter, getting under a warm fuzzy blanket with a hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa gets me warmed back up. I don't have floor registers anymore, but in one place I lived, I did and would take a blanket, as soon as the heat would kick on I would throw the blanket over the vent and jump in under the blanket, not wanting to come back out for a long time! I love those big knitted socks that you can get that are like slippers but hate taking them off cause they won't fit in my shoes! I'm jealous when I go to my sister's house, she has a wood burner and it's soooo cozy there! I never want to leave, but I wouldn't want to have to go outside to get more wood or clean the burnt wood out of the burner, either. This is the time of year that I like baking, keeps the house warm and the tummies full!

I am from Minnesota and we had rain/freezing rain/rain mixed with snow/ice pellets today.....my furnace has been on for a couple of weeks. We had two and a half inches two weeks ago...going to be a long winter at this rate!

No, never! Except for last night. Oh and tuesday night. But otherwise, never!! Never never never - er, well there was 30 minutes last week and I was just testing the system the week before.

That's quite an atmosphere that you describe! It's not that cold here in London right now but the clocks go back an hour on Sunday night which means that winter has finally arrived. I don't like to use the heating either as it is so expensive but during the height of winter I may stick the heat on for an hour or two just to warm the place up and then I will resort to carrying a quilt around with me in the flat! This is very convenient and very warm too. I love the sound of the wind against the windows, this definitely sets the scene! Andrew

It has been pretty chilly here too. Today is supposed to be close to 60 degrees, but I don't think it is going ot get that warm. So, being that itr is chilly outdoors, I have the heat on and I am under a cover at my desk. I do turn up the thermostat in the colder weather simply because I cannot stand to be cold.

hi dragon54u oh yes it got so cold last night, oh my it was at least 60, and I sure loved burrowing under my covers. he he. today the sun is shining and the sky is an azure blue with a few marshmallow clouds. It is a chilly 65 out, and do I envy you with a real fall and winter. I am in Southern Ca. and it is nice weather finally not so hot, and you can actually wear a sweater out doors. we get cold if it gets down to 55 here, only in January and sometimes February we do have a few cold days in the 40ts or 50'ths, but mostly it is the same old same old here. Rain here is something we read about, we did have several days when it rained for about ten minutes but not enough to do any thing but dampen the very first layer of soil. we are so dried out that the fire danger is at its highest peak.Last night was the first night for ages when they did not turn on the air conditioner. they had it set too high so our room felt really cold at night. Last night I slept really well as our room was warmer not that artic like wind blowing out of the air vent.
