Turn Up The What??

I did something last night I thought I would never do…ask my landlords to turn the heat up.

Since I'm renting part of their house, they've got the thermostat on their side of the building. Normally this isn't a problem because they're older individuals who like to keep the temperature pretty high. Recently though they've switched to a pellet stove for heat and it's been a little colder on my side, which isn't that big of a deal because it was usually too warm anyway.

But yesterday it was freezing. There was a pretty good cold wind blowing which was probably the cause since it was blowing at my side of the house. That was combined with a power outage earlier in the day which shut all the heat down. So when I returned from work, it was about 60F in there which is cold, even by my standards. I had hoped it was going to warm up a little bit more after I got back from dinner (Wassy came over yesterday for some mid-week stuff. Guitar Hero/Anime watching) and decided not to worry about it. But then I got back and…still cold.

She turned the heat up after I asked and all was well again. Warmed up pretty quickly after. But I figured I would chronicle the first (and possibly only time) I've ever had to (or ever will have to again) mention that it's far too cold in my apartment.
