robotech_masterGetting ready to shower. This preparation process consists of closing the heating vents in the kitchen and living room, and opening them in the bathroom and my bedroom. Later I'll close the one in the bathroom and let the furnace just heat my bedroom for a while because that's the coldest room in my house—especially since I have to keep it closed so the cats won't go in and pee on my bed.
When I go to bed, I'll open the vent in the living room a little so that enough comes out of that to trip the thermostat and turn the heat off so it doesn't get too warm in my bedroom during the night.
I was tempted by a $40 electric space heater at Big Lots today, but wouldn't have had any way to carry it home even if I'd cared to spend the money. Still, I can't help but think it would be a lot simpler if I could just turn the furnace off at night and use that to get my bedroom warm enough. Might even save me money, too.
