My husband and I have been house-sitting for friends of ours since Wednesday. The owner of this house is some kind of high-security-clearance guy with the Pentagon, so I'm sort of afraid to ask permission to use their computer. I don't want to accidentally hack into an internal site and fire a missile or something.
Anyway, its a nice house. Its great to be in someone else's home during the winter because then we can turn the heat up as high as we want and don't have to worry about taking a second mortgage to pay the power bill. I think this may be the only time I am truly warm during the winter. I'm posting from my house and its 55 degrees in here, but there's no sense in turning the heat on when we're not even here. My one complaint is their stupid damn Craft-O-Matic adjustable bed. Its basically two twin-sized mattresses put together. They have to be separate because one old fogey has to be able to raise the head or feet of the bed without disturbing the other old fogey who may be sleeping normally. (You've all seen the commercials--I don't have to explain it.) Anyway, between the two mattresses is what my husband and I refer to as The Chasm of Doom. The C of D completely rules out any kind of snuggling. And getting cozy on a twin mattress has its inherent risks as I'm sure you can well imagine.
Oh well, at least I'm warm.
