Heat

Well, I did it. I hate to admit it, but I had to. What choice did I have? Sure, it's only October, and I'm against it in principle, but I had to. It was 58ºF in my apartment this morning. So I turned the heat up to a modest 62º. I am defeated.

On an unrelated note, Stumpy is no longer with us. Goodnight, sweet prince.
