Last Winter, I decided to visit our aunt who lives in the Midwest area of the country… I had not seen her in about 5 years, so she insisted that I take the trip to see her.
I would rather her come to our condo because there is more to do here, & the weather is so much better, but she is getting older, & she doesn’t enjoy traveling as much, so it made more sense for myself and others to visit her instead; Well, when I got there the weather was harshly cold.
In fact, the afternoon I landed it was 15 degrees outside, & I was not prepared for it at all. I had a heavy coat & I had sweaters, but I should have brought more clothes that I could wear in layers… Luckily, our aunt keeps her beach house nice & toasty, so as long as I was indoors, I was fine. When I first got there, I liked that her beach house was warm, however then, I realized the control equipment was set too high for myself and others to sleep comfortably. It was set to 76 degrees, & I thought that was a bit too warm… At home, I barely use our heat in the Winter time & when I do, I set the temperature to 68 degrees, this is the temperature that is commanded by the Department of Energy. Not only does it save you money, however it also conserves energy. When I mentioned this to our aunt, she basically disregarded what I was saying. All she cared about was being sizzling in her home, so I decided to just leave it alone.
