I have the air on... it was 37 degrees last night, and I kept the a/c on. (set at 75 tho) My dad has said that I'm the Gatekeeper of the thermostat. At least I dont get too extreme with temperatures. I probably wont try to set the thermostat to 66 until late May or early June.

It's hot upstairs (there's 5 people living up there right now, normally there's only two) But they're all crazy people who think that 80 degrees is cold! Five people generate a LOT of heat. (and they keep insisting on cooking in the oven and making it hotter up there!) The houseguests keep putting on sweaters and stuff, making me think that maybe they're cold. (Hmmm...I wonder if I turn down the a/c?)

It's about 75 in my bedroom right now down here in the bat cave (basement) and I still think it's too warm. But, I did just do 3 days of IVSM and am on a prednisone taper. (cant wait to be done with that!)

I'm melting. I dont normally sit around with hardly any clothes on, but with being so warm and then all the funky sensations from the MS, I'm getting in touch with my nudist side. Clothing is driving me nuts with the weird MS sensations. Making me want to scream!

Everyone thinks that I dont want to go out because I'm tired and wiped out...that's part of it, but the other part is that I cant stand to wear any clothing right now.

I would love to go sit outside in the dark in a swimsuit with the wind blowing. Instead I'm here in a t-shirt with a ceiling fan with the lights dimmed just enough that I can see to knit.

At least with all the sitting around that I'm doing, I'm getting to do a lot of research on updating the lighting in my bedroom (getting rid of any lights that generate heat. I want LED's!)

I did get to do some sitting outside today. It was nice and cool and windy and felt really good to have wind blowing on numb, burning toes! Walking on the cement barefoot wasnt so fun, but the cool air felt great!

I'm just waiting for my allergies to kick in at the end of the month, and then I'll have allergy-related MS symptoms. yay.
