it's chilly here at a high of 45 maybe. Refuse to turn on the gas heat. They've had gas company and detectors an no one smells it but me. The dogs take a whiff when they walk by and quickly head to the back door. but still no one gets a whiff but me and the dogs. So therefore, I'm not turning the gas on. They go to the gas stove and no one smells it. I don't smell any leaks there. So we use electric space heaters and I'm fine with that. only thing with that is I have to turn them off when leaving the house. Dogs have extra blankets. I lived up in Indiana and moved down here in 94. So I know what it's like to be cold. Ya'll have my sympathy but my blood has been thawed for awhile and yes I've become a panty waist (aka sissy). Not suppose to warm up til Sun. Got pretty warm this past weekend upper 70s low 80s. DH thought about turning AC on for awhile. No way! I needed to store as much heat as I could! Now I set here with sweat pants on and jacket and socks up to my knees. I am not a fan of hot tea so I just warmed up some water. Not too bad with honey and crushed berries.
