5. I am at home in front of my computer with a space heater blowing on me.

My Chihuahua is in the living room in front of another space heater. She is wondering why we are not going out for a walk. But the temperature is 36 degrees and too cold for her even with a sweater on. I am quite comfortable. I have a heavy fleece shirt on with a fleece jacket over it. Fortunately, I live in a mobile home and it stays fairly warm with only space heaters. I am in North Georgia and by Tuesday it is going to hit a low of 13 degrees and a high of 29.

I really do not mind the cold as long as I can stay warm inside. I lived in South Florida most of my life until I moved to the Atlanta area in 1989. I prefer the cold to the stifling heat and humidity in Florida.
