Heat

The mornings start in the 30s or 40s. There was frost once, unless it was just steam making condensation, but either way it's cold. My place is warm enough because the windows are sealed and my fridge makes a bit of warmth as does the laptop and all my chargers. And I think I figured out the thermostat. Maybe.

But the school doesn't have an outer door that seals properly. There's an inch around the frame and between the two doors there's a space. But that doesn't even matter because the door is always open and so is the back entrance so there's a good breeze headed up to our second floor school. Also the windows are always open. The AC units are off and unplugged but the tubes carrying the drainage still hang out the window so I can't even close all of them when I get in the room. I need gloves for that building!

Then kids come to school in jumpers, jackets, long sleeves, and about ten layers. They complain that it's hot. I'm in a sweater and long sleeves and still chilled and they're trying the AC remote or begging for the fan.

I think I'll be stuck with a perpetual cold till spring comes. Hopefully they turn the heat on soon.

Come keep me warm. I love you.
