                You had better sit down, Julia, those heating bills can be pretty intimidating.  Don't forget, you need those thermal long johns.  lol

                Julia, Last year Son #3 bought me a personal, lightl-weight ceramic element heater.  I use it whenever I am not moving around, like when I'm at the computer.  It is very easy to move from one place to another.  It really cuts down on the overall heating bill.

                I have a wood burner and 2 fireplaces, so that helps with the bill. Chopping wood is good exercise too, haha...

...joking, I buy it and stack it. Stay layered and warm.

                I really, really hate the cold weather and if I didn't have a husband and kid that actually required me to get out of the house, I would never leave.

                You'll have to buy yourself some thermal longjohns, Julia, and just live in them.  That's what I do when it gets really, really cold.

                too.  We have sun right now, but who knows for how long, it's been the wettest November on record and it is only the 17th,. I hate that! It interferes with my walks.

                    some days there is sun, and some days not.
                
                But even with the sun, it doesn't warm the temp to much about 45 degrees. I'm hatin' this! But everyone says, "Oh, you'll get used to it." Yeah...right.

                    Keep yourself warm and cosy indoors Julia. 
                
                But do try and get out sometime!
