Being too cold is so miserable. Thank you each for sharing the dilemma with me. Tonight I'm determined to heat up one of the large cloth rice bags I have. I will then stuff it under the covers (where my feet will soon be) a few minutes before I climb in bed. If I keep it close all night, it'll still be warm in the morning! It sure beats what I woke up to this morning! I think I was close to having icicles forming on my eyebrows! (Just kidding!) But I did burrow further <br />under the covers a little longer to warm up before jumping out of bed.Pencil Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754663050624125557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379340379632642951.post-70660374220745371912011-12-07T06:51:41.797-06:002011-12-07T06:51:41.797-06:00I hate being cold more than any other sensation. T...I hate being cold more than any other sensation. Though I've gotten more tolerant of it over the years, I actually find being cold to be painful and if I'm not in a position to "fix it" (bundle up enough, turn the heat up enough, etc) it really gets to me. I don't know why. <br /><br />My dear husband will jump through hoops to make sure I'm comfortable largely because this is such an issue. The only time in the history of our marriage that I threatened to leave him was not because I didn't love him, but because I was tired of being cold (living in an old farmhouse--long story) and I was taking the kids and going to a motel.Mary O.

Tim and I have an ongoing debate about this. We have ventless gas heaters in all the rooms downstairs. He likes to turn them off when we are not in the room. I think we should turn them on low, and shut the french doors. I am so tired of being cold. It makes my bones ache. Two nights ago, I went to bed. The room was freezing. I turned the stove on low, and shivered in bed until the room warmed up. The blankets were cold, the pillows were cold. As I shivered, I began to worry about school. I was still awake at midnight when Tim got home from work. I was fretful and fearful, much to my God's shame, and I argued with Tim about his habit. Last night when I went to bed, the burner was on low, and the room and blankets and bedding was warm enough for me to fall asleep quickly.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.com
