Ben by Daniel Shelton for January 18, 2021

been there done that !!!!!!!

Put slippers on, or have heating coils installed in under the tile.

Due to some . . . oddities (or maybe dumb luck) in our house’s design, our bathroom is the 2nd warmest room in the house, next to my son’s room which, sharing a common wall with the bathroom “benefits” from the same design oddities, and his massive gaming PC/space heater.

Now let’s talk about those Popsicle toes.

so when they spoon and snuggle they get to share his cold bottom.

At least the seat was down.

Can’t remember your name, but, you tell him, Ben’s wife!!!

Isn’t that one thing slippers are for?

I used to be hot all the time – I would not wear a winter coat until it was in the 40Fs and did not zip the coat closed until in the 20Fs.

Then just about simultaneously and unrelated I went through menopause and lost weight. Since then I am FREEZING ALL THE TIME- and I do mean ALL the time. I had figured that if I am cold I just put on sweatshirt – NO – if one does when it is 80F outside one gets heat stroke – found that out the hard way.

Even though we have the heat on at night I am sleeping with 3 blankets, fully dressed in long sleeved tee shirt and old jeans and heavy socks – and lately have add a sweatshirt. Going to the bathroom once in bed and warmed up and is a BIG decision as I will be freezing – even with fuzzy slippers on I am freezing again as soon as I get out of bed.

What I really love is my husband will take my hand just to hold it and then say to me “Your hand is like ice!” and I point out to him that I keep saying I am cold.

I guess Ben’s not a “squatter”.
