Questionable Choices

I'm still AliiivEEEEEE 😝😝😝 I feel so successful. I haven't used my heater since the start of December, and I have gotten into a routine. I know what sweater is the warmest and which socks I prefer; at this point, I could probably outlive Bear Grylls! I'm still not sure what type of heater I'm using, though. I took off the grill and tried to find a label, but there wasn't any visible. I even went so far as to try to take the motor of the heater (motor?), out of the *socket* in the wall, but there were screws that were at angles (who designed this??) and I wasn't about to unscrew something that I could screw back in without a drill. One thing that has continuously tripped me up is the fact that I keep forgetting to unplug my charging cables . To be honest, though, I'm not too pressed about that. I'll chalk it up as an area where I have "room to grow" ;) we all make mistakes, so really there's no one to blame.......... After...

When I get home each night, I walk, exhausted, to my bedroom. Remember, it's in a shed behind my house. So, I'm out here, outside, its cold, and I'm like "Wow,,,.,.its is really cold...! Can't wait to be inside a nice, toasty room!" One fun thing I like to do (and if you start cutting your heat use you can do this, too) is to PRETEND that I am WARM. Ahahahah good times. To be completely honest, though, I've noticed I have been sleeping better. Either that or my body is going into some state of hibernation in an effort to stay warm. Some of my friends have expressed worry about my health, which is doing fine. Here's what I wear to bed each night: - leggings - thicc wool socks - sweatpants (yes, over the leggings) - shirt (T-shirt, long sleeve, whatever) - sweatshirt (shoutout to Summit merch) - a goshdarned Norwegian 100% wool (or something, I can tell it definitely came from an animal with minimal processing) sweater Then I just p...

Ugh, I hate this! There is nothing in the universe that could describe the absolute pain and disgust I feel when I walk into my room now. This is me! freezing! in my room! I feel like a model for LL Bean when I sleep. My entire body must be covered by at least an inch of fabric or else I wake up with blue toes. I feel like a character in Game of Thrones, any moment now my family will find me frozen, huddled under a mound of furs, "Alas! But our beloved daughter has succumbed to the great winter of Seattle!" Now, I may exaggerate at some moments in my life, but I want everyone to know that I am being completely honest and far when I say that there was no significant change in temperature when I went from being outside to being in my room.  Let me say this again: MY ROOM IS THE SAME TEMPERATURE AS IT WAS OUTSIDE LAST NIGHT. According to The Weather Channel , yesterday's low was at 31 degrees Fahrenheit. It was literally freezing in my room last night - but at leas...
