I usually keep my house cool because I like snuggling under a thick blanket and because it saves energy.  But today, my cat Stella is sleeping on the blanket I keep in the living room to snuggle under, so I have been sitting here with a sweater over my feet feeling slightly cold and trying to muster up the executive function to get up and dig another blanket out of the hall closet.

Then I realized: I am sitting on a blanket right now.  The one that I always keep on the couch to keep Stella from damaging the upholstery when she kneads.  I can just flip the edge of it over my feet and be fine.

Wow, if I had noticed this an hour ago, I would have had a MUCH more pleasant afternoon.

Moments like that are a pill.

Thank you. Your post reminded me to get up and go get the rainbow shawl from where it was dumped at the other end of the house (for use last spring!), and bring it back here to the den, where I will now want it for winter. Very soon now.
