Dear Friends and Family,
Wow, they weather can turn on a dime here! Sunday it was a blistering 88° and Tuesday morning it was 56°. Last night, waiting for Mr. mouse to pick me up, it was a brisk 53°. I promised myself I wouldn't turn on the heat until October 23rd, so I have another 12 more days to go before the changeover. I'm wearing socks and a long sleeve shirt at home, something I never do.
And, when I do make the switch from A/C to heat, I have some aggressive settings for the thermostat. The house will be set at 58° for when we're asleep and when we're at work. And, it'll be set at 68° for when we're up in the morning and when we're up in the evening. That's 10°-20° cooler than the 78° I enjoy. This one, I'm not sure I can maintain. But, I'm willing to give it a try.
2007 Action Plan
Cheers!
