feeling chills

I felt cold all day today. All the time that I was inside, that is—outside was sunny and warmish and very pleasant. I figured it was because the heat was turned down low, but it wasn't until a few minutes ago that I realized it was actually all the way off, at least downstairs. The upstairs thermostat, which is the visible one, was set to 55°F, and upstairs felt four or five degrees warmer, so there you have it. Also, when I turned the non-visible downstairs thermostat on—to 50° or 52° or whatever the lowest setting is on that analogue machine—the furnace immediately came on. So, a new record for coldness in the squibix household; I'm claiming 49°F. Woohoo!

I should have titled this post "Not keeping the home fires burning"; that would have been much funnier, and also very accurate. Leah was away, and that was the reason things were allowed to get so cold. Ah well, that's what I get for writing after ten o'clock.
