So last week, I was affected by the blizzard. The blizzard
itself wasn’t too worrisome –
But it was accompanied by strong winds and freezing cold
temperatures. And as we’ve discussed before, everything in my apartment
is electric and I have no access to a
fireplace. An uncomfortable thought soon
occurred.
What do you do if you lose power when it’s snowing heavily
and only 7 degrees outside?? I freaked out a tiny bit. Boyfriend wasn’t super
helpful.
I googled hypothermia.
I asked Boyfriend.
I came up with my own fantasy solution
And I took the only realistic precautions I could.
Luckily, I didn’t lose power and everything turned out fine.
Think of all I'd save on the heating bill.
Sure, you'd save on heating bills but your medical costs would skyrocket. "Here, kitty, just stay still, cuddli--OW! Why are you--OW! Do you really need to claw everything you sleep on?"
ReplyDeleteThis is why I have four dogs. The warmth they generate - from their body heat, and the constant farts - is second to none. I didn't say it was pleasant, only that it was warm.
ReplyDeleteI spent nearly two weeks at my MILs. She keeps the house at 64°, which I found miserable. Now it's in the twenties and I'm cold to the bone.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to cuddle with the kitties during the cold weather. I have four, and they're great to cuddle with.
ReplyDeleteI stayed in bed till 4 this afternoon. I couldn't get up. Harper, the very large smooth Collie/malinois mix, cuddled up against me so moving became impossible. I had to beg to get up and have something to eat.

You are now the inventor of the kitten blanket. You can make a fortune x
ReplyDeleteMy phone says it is 9 outside. 9 freakin' degrees! Stay in the bed with the cats!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand cardio either. I need to gain weight, not lose it!
ReplyDeleteNo lie, I let the cats all sleep in my room when it was bitter cold that week. They provided some warmth and I was going to use it! For all the litter I've scooped, I deserved it!
