I have promised to stop posting about the cold in another thread.
So this is my last huzzah.
Crikey me I am irrationally cold compared to the actual temperature.

Thanks for listening.

Am tempted to go and have a Potato Farl to warm me up, but sadly they are in the freezer. Outside in the shed. Body says maybe an early snuggly night would be better.

I thought you were always too warm. Why are you so cold?

I think it's a combination of weight loss*, lowering of body temp due to lack of alcohol and I the combination of meds I am on.

* I have lost 80lbs after all.

But I have always reatined heat very well, even as a skinny-minnie, which is why I am self-diagnosing and deciding on drugs dugs, drugs.

oh no sweetie, you must weigh only 100 pounds now. sounds like you have lost practically half of your body weight. i wish you could come to my deer camp. you are so small, we could both fit in the same sleeping bag

you know i don't really care what size you are. it is your thoughts/wit that attract me

Carrot gets too hot if I leave the central heating on. So I am shivering away in a tshirt, jumper and dressing gown. Seriously considering adding a scarf...

Wait, what? How do you determine Carrot is too hot?

orthodoc · 11-19-2013, 03:35 PM

I sat shivering through the second day of my spirometry course today, in a room set at 65 degrees 'so that we would stay awake'. Went upstairs (in the hotel) at break and got my winter coat. I haven't felt cold since starting tamoxifen - it produces hot flashes that let me single-handedly heat entire buildings. So ...

?

He finds the draughtiest spot near the door and pants like a mother fucker.

His coat is very thick at the moment.

If you regulate the heat for yourself, Carrot & coat will adjust. There's no sense in you freezing your ass all winter, and possibly getting sick, for his short term comfort. You're the big dog, he's joined your pack.

DanaC · 11-20-2013, 06:07 AM

Yeah. But I get cold at the slightest drop in temperature. Other people come to my house and are too hot :p

I can get warm adding layers. Until he's been and had his fur cut down he's kind of stuck with the all over woolly blanket.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-20-2013, 06:15 AM

Do you have central heating, like a thermostat controlling the temperature to a preset choice, or a couple of heat sources that you control manually?

Tommy used to work on the docks
knees have been on strike
He's laid on his back... it's tough, so tough
Gina worked the diner all day
Now working’s all done, she brings home no pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause there’s a line for the bathroom
And our bladders are shot
We've got arthritis and that's a lot
For pain - well give it a shot

Whooah, over half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer

Tommy's got his sixth crown in top
Now he's holding in what he uses
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running again
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers but he’s got his teeth out

We've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause there’s a line for the bathroom
And our bladders are shot
We've got arthritis and that's a lot
For pain - well give it a shot

I thought I'd been given a really butch haircut.
It looked like a real buzzcut by the time I took my hat off (you can't count what it looks like leaving the salon because that just doesn't count unless you are a hairdresser yourself).

Having put on skin make-up, eyeliner & mascara, I'm happy with the look.
It will wash and wear well and it won't need cutting again for ages.

Cost £28, which is a lot for me, so it wasn't just my vanity that hurt yesterday.
Still not sure it was worth the price, but I'm less genocidal today.

Having very little better to do before my hols, I've stalked myself via the Cellar.
I have a list of phrases I must never use again.
Words I can't help, we all have our own verbal ticks.

But I have claimed my haircut is too butch over and over again.
STOPPIT.
I wear no make-up when I go to have my hair cut. I don't wear much anyway, but what I do wear is susceptible to the sloshy-sloshy-washy-washy of the hairdresser's basin.
I also wait to colour my hair until after I've had it cut, especially since I had most of the colour cut off before I went to Amsterdam.
I get my hair cut as short as possible so I don't have to pay to get it cut again too soon.

If I equate a short cut with looking butch (which in all honesty I don't have the features for) then it's my own silly fault.

That is all.
