Much to my amazement, despite the cats I woke 7-ish which was perfect for getting kempt by the time I had to leave for school -- and the door was open all night. I sense a conspiracy on their part to lull me into complacency... or maybe I just slept heavily.
Nah.
Teppy, have you looked at this one [link]? Since you have Fridays off, you'd probably prefer a 7-day thermostat. Honeywell has good ratings and a battery backup. You might see if he wants to give you installation too. It's low voltage wiring, so it's not dangerous, but sometimes it can be a pain.
That one, or the 5-1-1 Honeywell thermostat, were the 2 that seemed the best.
As for installation, The Boy lives for DIY shit.
Since there is no chance in hell that I get the tv on sat or sun mornings, if I do get up earlyish, I usually manage to get laundry or dishes done.
I overslept too! After being up at 4:30 to water and feed the boy, I ended up sneaking back into bed at around 6:00 and didn't get up until 8:00. BLISS.
The other problem with getting up early is that I just had second breakfast.
HA! you only have to worry when you are on to breakfast three.
Hey jesse, can you e-me your new address?
I had a morning like Kat's, but with cats instead of kids! I woke up about 5:30, threw enough food in the cats' bowls so that they would ignore me, then went back to bed until almost 8:00.
HA! you only have to worry when you are on to breakfast three.
Luckily, I almost never get up THAT early. The next time I eat will definitely be lunch...
Hey jesse, can you e-me your new address?
I can!
We're going to Noah's first hockey game this afternoon (obviously he's watching not skating). So fun!
I was awake at 6, couldn't get back to sleep, finally got up at 7. Now I'm at work. On a Saturday. Bleargh.
