I guess that it's winter now

At 1:30 AM, it was 37 degrees out. I was worried about how low the temperature would drop by sunrise, so I ran outside and covered my plants. I ran outside without a coat and gasped when I came back in. I guess I have proof that my heat is indeed working because it would be a lot colder than 65 degrees in here if the heat wasn't working.

The kitties have taken to sleeping in the same bed. I guess they think of each other as each other's bedwarmer.

I hauled out my electric blanket, and it's been keeping me toasty warm. (My bedroom is about three degrees colder than the rest of the place because I keep my door closed.)

I'm mulling over building a fire in the fireplace, but I'd have to move some stuff first.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll make some tea.

I'm grateful for the ways to keep warm.

Cat Sitter Video

I played the Cat Sitter Video for the first time. Harlee watched it for a little while and then went away. Nima, however, is absolutely riveted by it. She's staring at it with big round eyes and is making little noises. Two thumbs up.

Nima's watching the video; Harlee's wandering around; I'm writing Christmas cards. It's a cozy domestic scene.
