Hot Stuff in a Cold Apt

Today I've decided to get the gas turned on at my house. I woke up this morning feeling like I was back in Boston. The thermostat wasn't registering the temperature in my place today 'cause it was below 60 degrees indoors. Ugh. I think there's a $300 deposit to get the gas turned on, but at least it's through the HVAC system and I won't have to deal with baseboard heat or radiators anymore.

Good thing I get paid next Monday.

Lara turned on the heat in the house for the first time yesterday. Ned got a cell phone. I'm still the most righeous.

TGL, you are living in a heated house ALREADY? It's OCTOBER!!!

If we didn't have tenants, PChippy would probably not let me turn on the heat until January.

It's very disappointing. That's what happens when you move from the second floor of the three story brick multi-family in East Cambridge to a single family on the windswept plains of East Lynn.

I had on two sweaters, a hat, woolies and a quilt.

Don't worry, the thermostat is set at 58deg. F.

Reminds me of a line from "Watership Down": Humans don't claim winter is their favorite season because they enjoy the weather, rather, they enjoy the feeling of being impervious to the weather.

It's 48 degrees, 55 mph winds, raining 2 & 1/2 inches an hour... I'm going for a run...
