So there I was patting myself on the back over how well I was managing to heat the person not the space. Thermostat pushed down to 15, thermometer showing 20 or 18, haven't had to use the furnace even with single digit lows. Come home from the afternoon's piggery to hear the unmistakable sound of the gas meter doing its thing. Thermometer may register 18 still but thermostat thinks that justifies turning on the furnace which I have happily running for who knows how long now. Ah well. I have an $180 credit on my account, thanks to somehow paying last month twice, so next month at least is taken care of.
Did succeed in closing the rusted in place outside sliding window in the perpetually cold side bedroom. There's two more panes of glass and plastic between it and me, not to mention a shoji screen and curtains so I don't know what effect it will have but psychologically very satisfying. Tomorrow the front room windows, though I'm still hoping for a major warm spell in November. I can hope: long range is for seasonable temps ie cold.
