I feel like lasted for maybe two weeks here. Granted, I understand it has also cooled down back in Kansas. I miss not being able to choose when I'll turn my heat on. Once again, I am learning lessons about how life is not about me!
I don't want to put on my winter coat too early (even though our
forecast this week is a high of 15 degrees C and the low in the mornings is -3 to 0
degrees C). My room has been about 11 degrees C (51 degrees F) all day.
That is until we turned the air conditioner on! In the summer I didn't
bother to use the AC because it was always blowing warm air. Now I am
glad to have it so my room is 18 degrees C (64 degrees F). At least
that's the temperature directly below the AC ... I don't believe it is accurate because I am still in three layers of clothes, with a blanket, hood and wool socks and feeling the chill. I am certainly grateful for at least some semblance of heat! When I am in the office I simply wear the same things I wear
outside (no need to hang your coat up in our office!). It takes strategy to layer in such a way that all the sweaters
will fit into each other and still allow for movement! I'm grateful to
have brought my fingerless mitten/gloves so I can work in them!
When I sleep I must be careful to not knock the extension cord to the air conditioner and accidentally turn it off (I share a remote with Audrey who lives next door). The majority of our plugs are the equivalent of extension cords laid from one part in the room to another (moveable outlets!).
On a warmer note, we heard rumor the heat will officially come on next week. I hear the radiator pipes gurgling occasionally so it is a welcome sound. In the meantime, we'll continue to hang out with students, coats and all!
Stay warm!
