sensory deprivation
my apartment is cold.
very cold.
right now, it's about 14ºC (57ºF) in here. and that's WITH the heat ON.
it would be even colder had i not battened down all the hatches before this latest cold snap arrived.
all my blinds are closed. all my curtains are closed. and the curtains have been taped to the wall along their bottom seams to further prevent the drafts from getting in.
as such, i haven't been able to look out my windows since saturday morning. it's like i've been living in a sensory-deprivation tank.
right now, i have on two bottom layers, three top layers, socks and slippers, and the fleece hat in which i also slept last night. my hands are still cold and i've actually been turning the oven on for the occasional blast of heat.
this is what happens when you have two giant walls of (old and poorly insulated) windows that face north, and the north winds kick up to 40km/hr for a few days. the view is gorgeous when it's nice out. no idea what the view is like on a day like today, though.
i'll be shopping for a space heater soon.

An electric blanket would also be good!
actually, i like a cold bedroom, cold sheets and snuggling under the duvet. the only good thing about my apartment's current temperature is that i'm sleeping SO well. (most of the time, the bedroom is too warm for me.)
watching TV, though? working on the computer? eating meals? sitting around? i'd prefer to be toasty.

a snuggie????
tempting, but no.
