sleep and heat

[jwgh]

The heat actually went out last night, but I was too tired to care then (and I didn't want to bother the landlord that late). I had kind of a confused dream where I knew that I should get up early to get up to call the landlord, but then I realized I was in the house I grew up in where there wasn't any central heat and if I wanted heat then I would have to light a fire, so really I should just stay in bed.

None of which was true, but I woke up early anyway and called the landlord (who came by about an hour ago and not only fixed the heat but showed me how to fix it myself should it break again in the future).

You think you have it bad - my Mail Order Bride from Russia always complains it is too cold in the house, I refuse to turn on the heat until *I* am cold - I am lord and master of the thermostat. Heat's expensive, don't you know?

Anyway, for night time I got one of those electric blankets, it has a set of his-n-hers controls for each half of the blanket (I'm sure it works fine for his-n-his and hers-n-hers). Anyway, last night somehow when making the bed, the blanket got flipped upside down, so that her control was controlling my side of the bed, and since I don't like the electric blanket, my control is usually unplugged.

Anyway, since WifeTron gets cold in temperatures less than that on the surface of the Sun, she was getting chilly and consequentially dialed up her control to ever higher temperatures until it was set to 'Roast Husband'. I recall sweating so much my pillow was getting soaked. Wifey, by tropism, drifted over to my side of the bed since it was warmer than her side, and consequentally the dog and two of the cats got into the act.

I woke up at the very edge of the bed about to topple over, my leg and arm sticking out like air fins you see on radiators to keep cool.

This is why I am all for global warming.
