Since the sunny days have been oh so chilly of late, I did a mini experiment (for my own amusement.)
I remembered I have an alarm clock in a cupboard that has a thermometer thingy, so I got it out and stuck it at my bedroom window.
See, I like a cold bedroom for sleeping, but as I said, I need blankets and such for my body to be cozy!
So I left the thermometer by the open window all day and in the evening when I went to check, the temperature was nine degrees (Celcius)! Brrr!
I closed the blinds and moved the clock nearer my bed and by the time I went to bed it was reading nineteen degrees, which is just about where I seem to like it.
Took a while to get under the covers warmed up, but once morning came, it was super nice and cozy under there, that's for sure!
But yeah, I think I'm going to try to remember that thermometer clock thing come winter when I'm shivering under my blankets with my hot water bottle in my main living room!
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
