Desperado

Holy crows feet it’s cold. Motivated by the challenge of keeping my energy costs low, each month I try and beat the price of the previous month. Today it’s absolutely freezing and when my husband and daughter aren’t home I lower the heat a lot. I’m sitting here, my fingers frozen and barely able to type, with my winter coat on in my home (how pathetic).

Optimistic for an upside to this situation, I’m hoping that this will raise my metabolism. I’ve always heard that drinking cold water raises your metabolism because your body is trying to keep you warm. Does this apply to when you’re freezing yourself?

I hope so. The song Desperado comes to mind. “Desperado Why dont you come to your senses….”

I TOTALLY know how you feel. We live in an old (118 years old) house and it does not hold hear (or cool in the summer) worth a lick. We set the temp at 60 in the evenings and its FREEZING in the house- and even with that chilly temp our bill used to be $600 a month during winter. We just switched from propane to natural gas and the first bill was down to $187 which is great but still a lot!
Stay warm!
