Camping inside
So yeah, I've mentioned the cold outside here in STP lately. My latest observation occurred while reading in bed last night before falling asleep. I had a familiar feeling, but it wasn't something I normally notice at home. I thought through my surroundings, and figured out that the feeling was that of camping. Yeah, bedding down in cool air, requiring a hat, which I had on, and reading until I drift off. I don't know how many times I've done that in a tent, but this time it was a king size pillow top scene right at home. It's so cold outside that our drafty windows are allowing a camping-like feel to our own bedroom. Upon waking this morning, the temperature in said sleeping quarters was 58 degrees. Now that's a temperature I'd be very excited to see outside, but when we spend all our time trying to warm up, it's not a great bedroom temp. But in a small way it brought a small smile to my face last night, because it caused me to remember all the great "tent times" I've had over the years. I can't wait for spring and the thaw to hit. Got a ways to go, but it's coming...
