I think the high today was 12. It was originally supposed to be -3 tonight, but I think they've revised that to 4. I really wish our house was insulated... Our walls are solid brick, mortar, and plaster, so we lose a lot of heat through the walls themselves. Ugh. And there's nothing we can do, really. Does anyone know where I can get some good tapestries? We meant to insulate the crawlspace this weekend... but then we didn't. I don't feel too bad for being lazy; it was our first weekend to relax by ourselves for a few weeks (and our last one for a few weeks too).
Our power/gas bill was $120 last month. Eek. I used to work in the winter with the house turned down to 65-66 and a space heater in my office, but since we got Molly I've been keeping the whole house around 68. Today I just decided that Molly will have to be cold or join me in the office, so the house has been at 65 and I'm rocking the space heater, wool sweater, and fleece.
I know it sounds awful, but there's really only about 7-10 days a year that it's this cold here. It's supposed to be in the high 40s/low 50s Thursday and Friday.
