Note The Date

yesterday, due to a cold front that came through that included a drop in temps plus rain, i actually turned on the furnace. we always try to go as long as we can without having the furnace on, but as the low was gonna be in the 40s and the highs only in the 50s for today and tomorrow, i wimped out and flipped the switch last night.

i only have it only set at 68 (usually in the winter, we have it set for 72 when we are both home, especially in the evening, when the cold sets into the house), so it's not like it's running constantly. still, i would have liked to wait as long as possible.

next step is switching to the winter comforter, which we will do this weekend. it took us a long time to get our summer quilt out due to winter lasting freaking forever, so i am saddened to return it, once washed, to the linen closet for another six to seven months.

yet one more reason, in a long line of reasons, of why we need to move to the sunshine state!
