I live in house that is somewhat big. It's not a huge house or anything, but we do have some spare rooms in our house. Because most of our house is empty, and we have tiled floors (Help me, I hate how terribly cold it gets!) our house is always COLD. I'm also convinced that it is not insulated because I can always feel a draft. (Maybe I have been a little too obsessed with the show, Property Brothers and am convinced that I know everything about homes now.)
The worst part is that we don't have a heater. It's usually as cold inside of the house as it is outside. Can you imagine my horror? We don't get the luxuries of having a heater because we are not well to do. Oh goodness gracious, I just want to sit in an oven to warm up.
I do have a solution/ritual I do each night though. Before bed I make sure to take a really hot shower, and then run to my bed. Once I am nice comfortable on my bed, I pile on tons of pillows and blankets where I end up making a fortress for myself. I found this to be the only solution to keeping myself warm.
Sometimes when it's too cold, I will wake up in the middle of night with cold feet and hands. I would then have to proceed to take a "mini shower" where I will just run hot water over my cold body parts for a few minutes until I'm warm again. It's terrible, but I make do.
I laugh thinking about the things I have to do during the winter, but I remember how much I love the tile floors during the summer. Which then explains my love of summer... it's just so much more tolerable living in my house during the summer. I'm just so envious of the people living in Hawaii where their weather is always warm.
