How to Stay Warm in the Winter
After the autumn leaves have fallen and the daylight hours have shortened, winter is on its way. Though the seasons create unique variety with new surprises every month, it is no secret the winter months can prove long and cruel.
The gas bill contributes to this unfriendly winter chill. One look at this dreaded monthly statement and it takes the eyes some time to refocus. The hope of a mistakenly printed decimal mark seems unlikely. It is inevitable; the thermostat has to get turned down.
What is a person on a budget to do? Channel those creative energies! If your juices have just been drained from finishing the masterpiece now proudly hanging from a modest nail in your cracked, chipped, painted walls, then pay attention.
Dig around between those sofa cushions; find anything with monetary value you can do without and get to a thrift store like it is your mission in life. The Web site www.craigslist.com may fill the pockets better than selling thrift. This site allows you to sell directly to the customer, and it is free to use. If home internet is a luxury you cannot afford, there are plenty of libraries and coffee shops with free wireless internet access.
Once the wallet is off the green-free diet, head to the hardware store and grab a basket. Pick up some foam, caulking, tape and plastic wrap to cover any areas in your place which are leaking the January air into your abode. Once all the leaks are sealed, you can be fairly confident the heat is staying inside and the cold air is staying outside. As long as you remember to keep the door closed, the draft should not be noticeable.
In the morning, when vintage hardwood floors bear their frigid teeth, hurry out of bed to do some jumping jacks. Not only does an elevated heart rate keep your extremities toasty, but a little post-hibernation jazzercise is sure to burn off the hot cocoa belly you have been putting on. Maybe the thought of morning exercise inspires rolling eyes; if so, buy a dollar store rug and throw it down next to the bed. You will have not only cozy toes to look forward to in the morning, but also added eclectic decoration to your pad.
As for keeping warm while asleep, the most obvious fix is to snuggle with your heart's desire. If you are still the owner of a lonely heart, get a little closer to your puppy, kitten stuffed animals or knitted blanket. Oh, and keep your clothes on. No matter how many beach vacation dreams those closed lids offer, it is still winter, and flannel is the coziest fabric with which to cuddle.
This is just the beginning to all the wondrous ways to keep your blood vessels from turning to icicles. Hopefully some of your creative juices have been thawed. So, take those bohemian ideas and channel them towards practical uses.
