I go to the gym to work out since I do not work hard enough during the day/week to stay slender.

It's going to be chilly here tomorrow morning, like low to mid fifties. I will have to get out of bed for swim practice in a heated pool. It's going to be about 10 degrees tomorrow morning here.

I wonder if I'll have to use my seat heaters to go to the grocery store?

I used to tease DH about seat warmers and heated steering wheel until I got to Michigan. Then I complained my car didn't have a heated steering wheel like his did!! He enjoyed that. Rat fink!!

It is definitely the day for heated seats. I regret not getting them. But at the time price was one of the most important things to me so no heated seats.

The heat in my car is barely even hot by the time I get to work on days like this! (I think it's 7 here right now ) On the plus side, when it's this cold and the ocean is still warm, I get a pretty spectacular view of the harbor on the way to work with all the mist floating on top of the water in the rising sun. It's pretty awesome. (didn't have time to stop today and take a pic)

There's nothing like a nice toasty ass on a cold day, but, unfortunately, the vast majority of heated seats in cars are also leather, which start out even colder.

My remote starter hasn't been working for some reason. AND I don't have heated seats. Woe is also me.

My remote starter has been out of commission for years. DH usually drives that car nowadays, though.

It's pretty awesome. (didn't have time to stop today and take a pic) I bet it was a nice view! it was actually snowing sideways at my house, and then halfway to work. I actually had a dr's appointment up where my condo was (I kept my dr and dentist the same) that I had to reschedule b/c there was no way I would have made it on time.

my FWP for the day - what do I want to do for lunch? I had planned to go to a sandwich shop near my dr's office (and my old job) that I miss. that's not going to happen now, and I didn't bring anything in from home. I just checked out menus from the local places I've gone. nothing's jumping out at me. I'm also trying to behave myself and limit my salt intake after the past couple weeks. so all of the various Asian places, Chipotle, and pretty much all the fast food are off the table for options. there's a pair of grocery stores nearby, and a Whole Paycheck one exit up the highway. or I could just open a can of soup, since I keep a few in my desk drawer for days like this.

There's nothing like a nice toasty ass on a cold day, but, unfortunately, the vast majority of heated seats in cars are also leather, which start out even colder. I haven't figured out how to get my heated seats to turn on when I remote start my car. Woe is me. If I leave the seats turned on, they are warm when I use the remote starter. I know you are supposed to turn them off (something about keeping the bartery from running down) but I never do and haven't had a problem. I will say I was griping because the seats/steering wheel heat up much faster in my BMW than in my SUV.... I should be glad I have them in both. FWP.

That's interesting. If I leave my seats on when I turn off the car, they do not turn back on when I start it. Allegedly there's a 'memory' setting, but I haven't felt like digging out the manual. Google knows everything.

Store is out of the spicy peanuts I like to have on days I'm needing an extra snack.
I must have a 3rd world car. No remote starter or heated anything other than the option to turn the knob to red and have heat blow in my face or at my shoes

We are retired now and have a fixed income, we have funds to draw from if we want. However at this time I don't need a housecleaner but when I do will have to take money from savings. Otherwise we may have to reduce motorhome travel, eating out so much, or something. I'm not sure I can do this, I mean how bad can it get? Pat - I love the pictures of your grandbaby. They make me smile.

Of course those come on all models of my car. I think my brother could put remote start on my car. It was possible on the Impreza but we never got around to it.

I can't put a remote starter in my manual transmission.

There's no plumbing on my side of the building - all the plumbing is at the other end of the hall. So since I didn't finish my tea yesterday, I need to either walk all the way down the hall to the bathroom to the cold tea out, or open my window the the chilly (but not cold) outside world and the cold water out there, before I can head over to the electric kettle and get myself some nice, fresh, hot tea.

I used to think it was impossible for any human to speak or write the word "tea" more frequently than my English in-laws. Seriously, in an average one hour visit to their house, the word tea is worked into conversation a minimum 57 times. No matter if you came over to talk about the weather or upcoming major surgery, most of the talk involves - or eventually gets around to - tea somehow. But I see a new World Champion in the use of the word "tea" has been crowned.

Tea is a way of life. For my birthday/Christmas, two different sets of friends got me new loose leaf tea.
My department has a "tea" every week, out in our hallway, where we invite everyone not in a class (students, faculty, staff) to come hang out for 30 minutes, talk to each other, eat some treats, and drink tea. This week, tea time is today.

I just used my last post-it note and went down to the workroom to get a new pack. They are all out of the fun-colored ones so I had to get boring yellow. I want my neon pink and green post-its, dammit!

Tea is a way of life. Yes, for some it is. For the rest of us, the subject is a little like listening to Sheldon Cooper talk about trains or flags.
