Just curious - what is your thermostat set at?

I am most comfortable at around 64-65 degrees, but dh needs it warmer since he's on blood thinners, so we settle on 70 degrees, which is about as warm as I can handle. My medicine makes me overheat easily. Right now the furnace isn't working, we're using space heaters until the repairman gets here and it's 60 degrees inside.

Mother is 91, she keeps it warmer than I like; however, she will put on a sweater if she gets chilly rather than turn up the heat. I keep a fan handy year round if I get too warm, and I keep the register in my sewing room closed as it is close to the furnace.

I have a 2 story apt with 2 zones of heat (paid for by landlord, yay!!) Downstairs I keep at 72. It is one big room with baseboard heaters along walls and an unheated "sunroom" type kitchen attached and 3 steps down. Upstairs I keep at 65 for sleeping but it winds up being about 69 because the bathroom baseboard is actually on my landlord's thermostat (next door).
I have about a 1.5 degree comfort zone and am always putting something on or taking it off. I find a pashmina is just the right weight to take the chill off without getting too hot, so I keep one on my chair. A cotton sweater works well too.
I am just REAL HAPPY that after so many years of heating with wood, I don't have to do anything but turn a dial!! Bliss!!

At the moment it is off but cold front coming tomorrow; have a heat pump, so in the winter it's usually 63 (as low as it will go; gets too hot for me); and summer 83 and the way the heat pump works - or mine at least - it gets too cold at that. Many times I shut it off at night and snuggle under the covers with an electric mattress pad.
