Finished this off as my morning cup. Now I’m off for our weekly breakfast out with friends. I hope this is loaded with caffeine (but I don’t think so) as I only had three hours sleep. The house is too warm for me and every one else says they’re freezing. Strangely, a good cup of hot tea doesn’t add to my body heat and it does make me happy.

We have water radiators to heat my old house, which is wonderful, but it gets so hot on the 2nd floor especially, so we keep them turned way down, just bringing up the heat in the morning (to 65), then down again once we’re all toasty. Of course, if we get some really cold weather, we might run them longer, but then people sometimes have to open their windows upstairs from time to time. My room is one the 3rd floor. There’s only a baseboard up there, but I almost never run it. I can’t stand to be hot, & luckily most of my family shares my preference for cooler fresh air.
My internal thermostat is just off. I used to leave the house on winter mornings without a coat and I wouldn’t notice. The ride home in the afternoon was really cold. I blame the thyroid medicine I have to take. At night you can’t get it cool enough. I sleep with three fans on me. We agreed on setting the thermostat on 72. Nobody is comfortable but it is our best compromise.
