It’s in the teens outside and it means that down here in the basement, I have to have my slippers on, or my feet freeze! It what makes me wish we would win the lottery, so we could build a house, with a den, so the computer could be upstairs, where it’s warmer! (Yeah, like that will ever happen.)
On the other hand, cold weather encourages my dog to do her business more quickly, so we both get back inside. It’s winter in WI, what can I say?
I am thankful for the furnace and good windows that keep my house warm, though. It would be a lot colder in here, if we didn’t.
Yesterday, my daughters participated in the Walk for Warmth. 338 walkers and 1000 sponsors raised $9300 towards helping people pay their heating bills. The representative from the gas company said that the money would get a $750 bill down to $15! This is such a wonderful thing, that all these teenagers do! The temperature during the walk, was a brisk 20-something, too! Both of my kids said they were hot, by the end of the walk, though. After the walk, they got cookies and hot chocolate!
Ya know, we don’t get all that cold down here in the Deep South, but last night it was in the mid 20′s and tonight it’s supposed to be around 20. That’s VERY cold for us
When it gets that cold, my hands and feet stay cold. I seem to be ok with the feet, I can put on more socks or slippers or shoes. But my hands are another story. They stay cold and believe it or not, it’s at its most worst when I’m on the computer. I get what my hubby and I call “mouse hand” – our right hand from moving the mouse gets freezing cold!!!
Have a good day
