Chilly

I'm sitting here in front of my computer, shivering. I'm wearing two layers of clothing and contemplating adding a third. The problem is the thermostat. I switched it from heating to air conditioning a couple of weeks ago, and I promised myself that would be the last time.

Every spring and fall I go through this -- air conditioner on the warm days, heater on the cold days (and nights). Isn't there some thermostat I can buy that I can just set to a temperature and it'll know whether the heater or air conditioner should kick in?

I don't know of a cheap residential thermostat that's that smart.

However, perhaps a dozen years of therapy could fix the other half of the problem? (Not that I've tried it; I always resist switching modes too.)

I'm a wimp. I gave in about the time the room temperature hit 64 degrees. The house was overly warm and dusty most of yesterday afternoon, but seems to have settled down to something reasonable today.

I hope this is the very last time until fall.

I don't think there is or we'd have had it in Northern California. Where we lived the days could be very warm and our house was on a west facing hill. And that wall was mostly window. But as soon as that sun went down it could get darn chilly. I went back and forth between heat and air all the time.
