My word, it's cold! When I got up this morning it was just 16 degrees outside, and right now, it feels about sixteen next to these windows!
For Elegante Mother, we have the temperature set at 72 degrees. If she didn't live with us, the temperature would be at 68 during the day and 65 or so at night. I'm usually too warm, and would willingly lower the thermostat for the winter, but Elegante Mother is going to be 89 on December 7th, and she tends to look blue if we turn the heat down too far.
I've been trying to get her to get up and move around, but she doesn't seem to believe that being active will keep her warm. I have the perfect idea for this afternoon, though. I'm going to bring the box of ornaments up from the basement, and have her work at decorating her Christmas tree.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....
