I came to around at 2:30. Pee (prostate eh?). It was cold but I went back to the bunk and tried to resleep in various positions... nope. BUT, I stayed in the bunk until 6:30. It was too bloody cold to get up! I just fired up the electric furnace and turned of the heat pump (wall mounted mini-split) on Wednesday during the snowstorm. I didn't get the setting right. So, it was TOO BLOODY COLD! 16C. Now, when I was 285#... no problem. Now... problem.

So, at 6:30, I fired up the furnace. It's now 17:30 and the furnace has been running all day. At 13:00, I turned on all the incandescent light bulbs in the house. At 14:00, I turned on the oven... 400F... in anticipation of cooking a pizza at 16:00 just to add to the heating.

It's now 21C, my bedroom door is shut, the bedroom plenum is blanked for sleeping temp and the oven is off. I have a hoodie on whilst I sit in my office and my fingers are not cold. I shall attempt to adjust the thermostat such that the house does not overheat with the coming warm-up for the impending snow from the south.

Wish me luck. I am sorry to have to report this dire news as I know all of you are concerned about my welfare. On another note, with any luck, Amos will survive as well, even though the smug fucker probably just had to put on a sweater and maybe even socks before he put on his sandshoes in the past while.
