Woke this morning with a migraine.. Getting better as the house warms up. It was 30* outside and the windchill was 20*, that is quite chilly for here in Georgia. With the shift in the weather over the past few years, even I have noticed how much colder it has gotten here in the south. When the house I am living in was built, there was no furnace installed. So when I woke this morning, it was COLD in here! All that heats it up is a single window unit that doubles as an AC in the summertime. Mind you I'm from the north and never seen one till I moved here. These are things you DO NOT let run all the time or you have a crazy electric bill. In the summer you have to clean these things regular also for scorpions too! Being that my house is in the country (and I do mean WAY out there), we get those little critters ~ scorpions ~ on a regular basis. Oh yea, and BIG spiders! When I moved here from the north I was terrified of spiders. I was actually attacked by a HUGE one in my kitchen as I opened a cabinet (5 years ago in a different house). She was carrying a pile of babies, it took a can of raid spider killer, and finally a fly swatter to kill her. As hundreds of babies ran everywhere (raid did not work), I found that windex DID kill the babies! Anyway, I found if you want to live in the country in the south, you also have to live with the critters. This past summer I went to open the door to let my dog out and as I grabbed the door latch, yea, there was a snake wrapped around the handle, it had came through a small gap in the screen of the door and was catching bugs (or waiting for the little green tree frogs that were catching bugs) from the porch light!
OH YEA... SO anyway.. it's warming up in here!
