My status is going down
Because it is so cold in my apartment right now. I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that this was the coldest day/night of the year. I am so cold right now I can see my breath and its only a few degrees warmer in my house then out side. I have old shitty windows that leak cold air. the wood on the frame of my windows is old and rotting. I have a 3 foot lousy base board heater in my living room to heat the entire down stairs. Well it doesn't do jack shit.
Most nights the cold doesn't bother me at all but to night is not one of those nights. I can't tell you exactly how cold it is in here. All I know is I think my mood is seriously being effected by it. Not to mention I've been sleeping even more than usual. I am now only awake for about 8 hours a day that is it. I am asleep the rest of the time.

Try wrapping yourself up in some nice warm blankets and turning on the TV for a little while.
I hear ya on the sleeping a lot thing. I'm only awake when I absolutely have to be, at this point.
I don't blame you for sleeping when it's like that cuz sometimes it's the only way to be warm. Winter is depressing anyway. Wear lots of layers.
Try some tea or just plain hot water. Warm yourself up on the inside :)
I'm sorry that your mood is taking a dive and that you're sleeping your life away!!! (((((Hugs)))))
Although I confess, it would really wear thin if I couldn't come inside my warm, insulated house. But such a nice change from the usual -40 we get. The cat wanted to go out today, it was so warm, but reconsidered when she stepped on the snow. LOL
Why can't you get heat, doorknob? Is this a landlord or a money issue? Not a good way to get through the winter.
But I also haven't paid my electric bill for a few months. I didn't get the infamous pink shut off notice yet but I am waiting. I don't know why but I am not getting money from welfare yet. I have my food stamps but not cash. I'm waiting to hear from my case worker. He will be calling me tomorrow.
For tonight though its too cold even for me to tolerate.
Sorry you're so dang cold. sounds awful.
Hope you try stay warm xx
I'm sorry ur so cold :(
Obviously try and stay warm. Drink hot chocolate, if ya have some, that'll help keep ya warm for a few minutes anyway. xox
