Do you have pets ? In the winter my cat
shares the bed with me and we keep each other warm. I load up the wood burning stove one last time and load up the blankets. The cat snuggles in
and is quite warm, as cats body temp is a few degrees higher that humans. She has even learned
to hop up to the sideboard next to the bed if I need to shift or get up during the night. Still
she tries to steal my warm spot if I take too long in the bathroom. The fire lasts till about
3 am, being well banked and from then on it gets quite cold inside the house. Before I leave for work I bunch up the blankets around the cat, who
has again taken my warm spot. By 9 am the house is warm if the sun is up, due to passive solar design. She then moves to one of the sunning places I have made for her by the windows and sleeps or if I remembered to feed the birds, watches the deck with intrest.
