Its set to 68 here. Housemate runs around in a bathrobe and thermal underwear at night cuz its COLD. I stay in my room with my little heater blasting away but when I go in the kitchen, its like walking into an ice box.
Anyway..I read that 68 is best and to wear sweaters, so thats what I am doing right now. Fluffy slippers, fluffy robe, two quilts on my bed. MrGracie has his thermals on and his little heater going. All doors are closed to keep us warm in our respective rooms. I wish housemate would set it to 70. I can imagine how bad its going to get when it snows cuz the winters here are pretty cold. And, older folks have thinner skins and are in danger of hypothermia if the thermostat is set too low (62 to 68), plus folks with auto immune problems, arthritis, etc...which is my problem. Should I ask her to set it to 70 or just stay buried in my room bundled up during the winter?
I'm so ready to go home...IF they ever call. Be in charge of my own thermostat!
