It's So Warm in My Bedroom!

"How warm is it?", the reading audience shouted en masse.

On Thursday night, it was so warm in my bedroom, I:

• kicked off my socks


• turned off the electric mattress pad


• snaked my foot out from under the covers to cool off, and


• pulled off the fleece jacket I've worn every night over my silk pajamas

This despite the fact that it was about -5 outside.

However, the fact that it was -5 outside, and the fact that the garage radiator was malfunctioning, led to the hot water pipes in my bathroom freezing. An emergency call to the plumber and a space heater running round-the-clock in my bathroom has ameliorated the problem. Now we just wait for the cold wave to break.
