Hi nickel ... (carrying an undiscosed mumber of kilograms?) " ... taking it easy and keeping warm"? For a few years I've kept the thermostat at around 64 - 62, as a contribution to alleviating the global warming/pollution problems and had it about 64 earlier. That causes some more complications regarding visits to the bathroom for EWS (Eliminating Waste Solutions), due to the need for long johns, overshirts, extra sweaters, etc. As one ages, however, and one's other EWS (Early Warning System) deteriorates, one develops an extra sensitivity and adds concentration on rapid adjusting of clothing, in order to compensate for the first EWS' developing a certain sluggishness, to forestall that System producing a Solution not according to one's hopes and expectations. Which would require this aged person's household's version of ALS (Additional Laundry Service). My son came for a visit about 10 days ago to help clear some problems associated with the house for a couple of days, so I turned up the thermostat to about 68 ... and haven't developed as much enthusiasm as needed to turn it back down after he returned home. So I am keeping quite warm, thanks. ole joyful.

Especially funny for me as my gray cat is named Misty! (And yes she is spayed!)

Well I got a surprise last week when I left for my aunt's around 11am to meet up with a contractor she had hired (she's 92 and wanted someone else there). They told us they would be there at noon....well by 1:30pm no one, so I called. "Oh, I said 2pm", yeah right. I know the difference between the words "noon and 2pm". Anyway, I didn't leave her house until 3:30pm. When I got home, the two outside cats came running to meet me, followed me into the house. When I finally sat down to relax, one cat immediately climbed onto my lap. The other bigger cat was determined to sit on my lap too. Since there was no room, he gingerly inched his way onto my chest and laid right there! I never saw them act this way. It was like I had been gone for days. lol
