It's cold !!!!

the temperature in our house dropped about 12 degrees over night. I could feel it happening when I woke up a couple times during the night. Having the fireplace for the only sorce of heat is a bit of a pain, but I am glad we have at least that. I got the heat back up to 61 so far, it took about 5 hours to get it this high.

But then I should consider myself lucky, in my neighbor's house it's freezing all the time. But not because they have an insufficent heating system, no it's because he is cheap. So when he was gone for a couple of days this week she told me she turned the thermostat up to 58. OMG that's still freezing!He seems to be a bit of $ pincher and only keeps the heat going in one part of the house (familyroom/ kitchen area). Rather washes the dishes himself than running the dishwasher, stuff like that.

Maybe I should invite her over , my house is currently 62 and climbing!!

(Have been good about walking, went on the same route by myself and the dog this time. Was able to pick up the pace. It took me 65 min compare to 90 when I walk with my neighbor. But either way it's good. And no more walks when it's dark.)
