A bit of an improvment.

I'm still tired from lack of sleep. But I'm also happy that things inproved some from this morning. The sun did come out and I did get george off the couch and dry. The couch was wet where he'd been lying, but not near the extent I thought it would be. It's cold in our grage, which likely feels colder than outside because of it's onstruction. I was only out there a couple of seconds, but I could really feel it. It was like night and day. Our heat deffently works.

We are in for a long, long very cold period up here. We will not get above freezing, or near 32, for two weeks. The low tonight is supposed to be 12, but it's already 10 degrees, so it will be colder. I am glad your heat works!!

Our weather is up and down. And I know 58 is pushing it but I can't risk waiting a week and hoping conditions improve to be comfortable. The thing is this cold snap will eventually run its course and we'll see conditions inprove.

@MarieCoyle It felt pretty good to us, too. The wind outside waiting for our ride home, was not fun at all. But, because we did an emengerncy walk-in appoitment, we didn't leave until well after they "closed".

@kaylachan I know that 58 degrees would seem very warm to us right now!

@kaylachan they are too big for the couch cushions?

I have a four pack that I rotate when he sleeps in bed, but even folded they don't fit the couch.

@shaggin Yeah, they are. OUr couches are kind of narrow. Barely to fit one of us on them streached out. And, George rotates from sitting on it like a chair, and laying simi upright like a bed.

It is not that cold here. Low 40s at night, and high 50s in the day

Kind of like it is here, too. But when you drop from 75 to 38 it's hard to ignore.

I’m glad to hear the couch wasn’t as wet as you thought it would be.

I think a lot has to do with the fact he stayed there and his body heat helped dry it up. Hate to say. I also have it layered under him so when I cleaned it up the underpadding I was using was soaked.

Improvement in your day is always good. So when you finally do have a chance to get some sleep, your mind and all will be in a better place so you can get proper rest. Hope the rest of your day keeps improving too.

Glad to hear you can keep warm, In the late afternoons when the sun leaves I put on my space heater so the front room is warm for sleeping, The cats seem to be adjusting to all this and Tish sleeps in the window next to my PC when the sun is out, I hope you both have a better evening and can get some sleep

It is not good for him to lie on a wet couch. Do you live in a garage? It must be hard to keep it warm.

No. we live in a nice siz-ed house with a one and a half car garage. The garage is where the washer, dryer, hot water heater and van are located. And, yes when I have to go out there in the winter, you can feel the difference.

I'm hoping I can get him to go to bed around one or two so I can get some sleep, too.

I shudder to think what my gas bill will be next month. It seems like the furnace has been going continuously for days.

Seems like everyone is having a colder-then-usual winter. And, you kind of have to freeze or pay the bill. I'd pay the bill.
