We’ve had some really cold temperatures for our moderate climate in the Piedmont of North Carolina lately. So much so that we even cleared half of our garage in order to get one of our cars parked inside. That took some doing, too! My husband took someone’s advice and closed off all the air vents on the ceilings upstairs because it was very warm up there and super cold downstairs. It worked, but now it’s pretty chilly upstairs and I have been sleeping under a sheet, blanket, bedspread, and another blanket folded in half on top of me. Plus I’ve been wearing sweat pants, socks, a long sleeved pullover sweater, AND a zip up sweater to bed!
Needless to say, I’m ready for some warmer temperatures. I have found that in the spring and summer months I am generally a happier, more pain-free person. I’m downstairs now, fairly warm with the fireplace going and drinking some Persian tea, but my fingers are still cold! Makes typing a bit harder than usual and I keep making typos.
Are there any good remedies for cold hands, besides wearing gloves in the house? Any ointments or lotions that produce the effects of heat that anyone knows of? I suppose I could get some of those fingerless gloves that bike riders wear.
I hope wherever you are living that you don’t have tons of snow right now! We were fortunate to miss the big storm that hit Washington, DC, Virginia, and parts of Maryland. All we got was cold rain! I’m not complaining!
