    Anyone turn their heat on yet?

    I had to. I didn't realize that it would get as cold as it did last night. It was only 42 when I woke up. I know, some of you will think I'm nuts but I was freezing this morning. I waited for the temp to rise but it hasn't, so I finally turned the furnace on. I can't stand to be cold!
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Coming close. I enjoy the 50's and 60's and not hotter, but the 30's and 40's are a bit much. I'm going to have to wash blankets this weekend so I can add more to the bed. The dog has switched to sleeping under the covers half the night, when she stays the whole night you'll know how cold it is.

    Ummm, yes. We've also had the fireplace on every single morning.

    The highs recently have been in the upper 80s and low 90s so no heat needed here yet. We still have the A/C on IT was a little nippy this morning though, maybe 60ish.

    I was tempted to last night, but I put an extra blanket on the bed instead. Chilly nights, but still in the 60's in the day here.

    We have no control over our heat. The management turns it on when they think they should, while the rest of us freeze. Once the heat IS on, we have no control over the temp. They told us if it gets too hot in our apartments, to open the window. Talk about a waste of fuel.

    Our furnace has been on for a month. Typical. Of course, there have been days where I so wanted to turn on the air conditioner in the afternoon, too. We have very extreme weather ... not only from season to season, but from morning to afternoon.

    Yes the heat has been on for the last few days, high 90's and almost 100.

    But it's a dry heat.

    *snort* i'm on early shift now, so i get out of a 3 cat , one blanket bed at 5:20am, slide on my fleece clogs, let peanut out (she sleeps under her 'blankie', a big worn bath towel on her bed) , put on my big purple terry bath robe and swill down cup of coffee #1. by the time i get back into my bedroom to dress for work, peanut is UNDER my blankets, and 2 of the 4 cats are with her....a warm dog can replace a warm human in their world view i think. i'm holding off on turning on the heat until the inhouse temp when i get up is 62. maybe november 1?
