Chilly

After having a record warm March and a couple of days with 80° temperatures last week, I was lulled into thinking that it was early summer.  Very bad erroneous thinking.

Throughout last week I had had windows open in various rooms, including the kitchen area where the furnace thermostat is located. So I turned off the heat, not wanting the furnace to pop on if the temperature fell below 69°--which is where we leave it for daytime temperatures in the heating season.

I forgot about having done that.  Is it a sign of impending Alzheimer's or simply having more pressing and/or interesting things to think about?

I knew that the night time temperatures have been around 28° - 33°, but the daytime temperatures had been much warmer--until yesterday.

Yesterday was a beautifully sunny day, but when I walked the dog in the morning it was 34° and it was quite windy.  Unfortunately the temperatures only climbed into the upper 40°s and the wind continued to blow all day.

I opened a window in the bedroom last night, as is my custom, so that it would be cool while we slept.  When I got up this morning and went into another part of the house I thought it was really pretty chilly throughout the house.

Then I remembered that the furnace was off.  The temperature on the thermostat registered 58°.  I turned on the furnace, but unfortunately my morning shower included goosebumps.  And no I wasn't reading.
