Meeting! First time in weeks!
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh! When I got into bed last night, I realized why I was obsessing so much about the boots -- my feet were freezing all evening! I kind of didn't notice.
I can't go to bed with cold feet, because I'll never fall asleep. If my feet are cold I take a bath before going to bed.
I have a heating pad for that very purpose. When my old one stopped working, we got one with a two-hour automatic shutoff. It's awesome.
I put my electric blanket on my bed the other night, and it's great because so far, I've turned it off before I fall asleep and been perfect. It wasn't heating up fast enough last night.
Athletic socks. For some reason I used to try and sleep with slightly chilly feet, and wondered why it never worked. Now I just put on socks when I get home. They won't stay warm on their own, and if the heating pad turned off they'd get cold and wake me up. If a sock falls off, I'll wake up.
New Guy forgot we'd been kicked out of our conference room, so meeting was had standing up in a corner. It is always something. He's still sure we're in the room tomorrow and Friday, but I've checked my mail and we're not. I don't know if I'll remind him.

Three words: Heated. Mattress. Pad.
It may be the best thing I ever bought, in terms of ROI.
I'm looking at all those heating items with lust. And then trying to remember where I live. Moved here for a reason, and it pays off. One blanket does just fine most of the time.
The electric blanket or mattress pad options weren't as good for me, because my husband is a freak.
