Death by heater
The last week has been so sporatically cold that I thought I was going crazy. Some days I would wake up freezing, only to bundle up with a long sleeve shirt and a heavy jacket. Then I'd walk outside and the sun is blazing and i'm sweating to death. At night, it would be freezing again, and stupid me, i'm walking around with the jacket in my hand, still confused from earlier and not realizing I should put on the jacket.
My room has been so cold lately that I pulled out the space heater. I know you're saying "why not just use the normal heater?" Well, the heat in my room is weird. I think it only turns on when the heat from the hallway turns on. And well, I think we don't have that heater on. I think I turned it on at one point, but I think it only turns on if the heat in the living room turns on. Well, regardless, basically the heat isn't on enough and my room isn't as insulated as the rest of the house what with a back door right next to my bed and all.
Plus, the one heater unit is along the same wall where all my computer wires and power strips are. Fuck that, i'd rather freeze then have my computer melt or catch on fire.
So I use a space heater. It works really well. If i'm freezing, I turn the badboy on and in about 10 minutes, the whole place warms up all nice and toasty. It also has a dial where you can set to how warm you want to be, and it'll shut itself off after reaching that tempature.
The last few days, the nights have been really cold. I didn't realize this, so I slept with the heater off only to wake up with my fingers frostburnt. So last night, I turned on the space heater, hoping to stay warm throughout the night.
I woke up in the middle of night soaked in sweat. My space heater never clicked off. It was hotter in my room then those summer days with my broken air conditioner. Let's put it this way, it was so hot that I had to open the back door and let some cool air in before my brain or balls melted.
God damn it, I almost baked myself to death. And I really like both my heads.
