Nanook strikes again!

For the past two or three weeks I have been really cold.  I have been going to bed in increasingly more clothes (long johns- top and bottoms socks a nightgown and a big fuzzy bathrobe) and waking up in the night with actual shivvers.  I thought that I was running a low grade fever but it kept coming back.  I had lots of sleepless nights where I had to take a hot shower to be able to get back to sleep.  One night I even went to bed in my big fleecy robe.  Dad said that it was like cuddling a bear.  We usually don't open our bedroom curtains as there are apartments right across from us and we like it dark but the other day as I was mopping the floor I moved the curtains and the window was open about 8 inches to accommodate the air conditioner that we were only using as fan noise. It came with a blocker that fits in the window but dad hadn't put it in in the rush of moving.  That night I moved to another bedroom with the small space heater and slept for the first time in a couple of weeks.  Needless to say Dad found the blocker and taped it in.  In the mean time we bought an electric mattress cover.  It was waiting for u s in Lisbon when we got there and last night I slept like an angel floating on a warm cloud.  Dad slept better too - go figure!
