Baby, It's Cold Outside

Our duplex has sort of a crappy furnace.  It heats fine, but its 'time to turn off'/'time to turn on' decision-making process is pretty much arbitrary. On top of this, our second floor is always about fifteen degrees warmer than the first floor.  The result of this is that we spend a lot of time upstairs.  And because our kids follow us everywhere, they're spending a lot of time up here, too.  The master bedroom has become the new living room, and our bed is the couch.

This is one of those things I'll miss someday when (fingers crossed) we can afford a house that's a little less...quirky.
