My bedroom is right above the furnace room so it stays extra warm– which I am not a fan of. I like a chilly bedroom and snuggling down under blankets when sleeping. Had I realized how warm it would stay it here, I would have picked the other bedroom. Plus, hot flashes are no joke. Ugh. I am too lazy to move everything to switch bedrooms, so I keep the AC unit in the window in case it gets too warm and have a heavy curtain that will drop down to cover it on those windy, below 20 degree nights. The new(ish) cats, Bee and Fifi, like it warm in the house so lately I’ve been sneaking the thermostat up to 65-67 for them and pushing the bedroom door almost closed so the AC or fan mode can run in the bedroom at night.


During the day, I wear sweats and fluffy socks and am very comfortable in the 60 degree house.
