thursday, my home is finished in only one room which i heat with a radiator which is oil filled electric. after ike it snowed and even that room did not get warm enough. i also have an electric blanket and an electric heating pad. sometimes the only way to be warm was with those. one thing i did was to drink a lot of hot tea. and i would pass my hands and wrists over the steam. when it cools enough i wrap my hands around the mug.

when i was little our home burned down and i remember being cold all winter. some of the things we did was to zip two sleepings together and all pile in with the dog. we were living in a half finished building. i slept over at friends' homes a lot just to get a break from that. we ate a lot of chicken noodle soup. it kept us active during the days.

one thing i do in my little finished room both summer and winter is to buy styrofoam and make insulators for the windows. i covered them with reflective mylar xmas paper. winter, when the sun is shining you can remove and let the sun heat the room. at night they help those poor space heaters manage. summer you put them on in daytime to reflect the heat away from the house.
