Why is it so cold?

Im not a fan of cold weather at all. In fact I hide out in my house 24/7 and only go out one time a week and thats for groceries. I cant stand being cold i love the warmth of my house. with that being said. Why is it so cold in my house. I realize its only 5 degrees out right now and my heater is constantly running. so why am i freezing. I have nice warm pants and a long sleeve shirt on. underneath a blanket with a computer sitting on my lap that throws out tons of heat yet im still frozen. I cant turn my heat up to high or it gets too hot. so what is a happy setting? i go somedays from a 70 degree thermostate to a 77 degree thermostate and nothing feels good. and i only go by 1 degree changes. i refuse to wear socks. id go barefoot all the time if i could. but sometimes i take things for granted. I know friends right now who dont have heat and i couldnt imagine what that is like at this moment. but i do know that even having heat im still freezing. And while i complain about this cold weather and being in the house all the time i need to think about my husband and his family. They work in an ice box. ok so its not really a real icebox but its a steel building that gets ice cold at night and takes all day for it to warm up. and they all have their own heaters just to keep warm. they hang from the cealing down low enough to radiate the heat on them. (theres no actual heaters you flip on ) its not like an office where you flip a switch and your heater turns on and starts warming you up. so while im at home in a "warm" house my husband is out working his tail off in this cold weather. Where i really wish i was right now is florida. a friend of mine just flew down there to be with her husband this week. she said when she got off the plane she was so hot she had to switch over to shorts. no fair. but i got jealous over her going there..then thought back..why am i jealous i get to be with my husband everyday. They live a different life then most. they lost their house and everything else due to money. they couldnt get a good job around here yet they didnt want to take their kids out of the school that they have attended their whole lives. so he moved to florida for a job and she lives up here. they are doing a lot better now. she has her own place here where she rents and he has a place there. she likes to go to the casinos and they both take turns flying back and forth to see each other. im so grateful for the life i have. and i think we all need to remember that even tho we think things are tough...theres always someone out there who has it tougher then us. So while im sitting here complaining about my house being cold i need to remember some dont have the luxury of heat. This is the kind of weather that if i seen someone out on the streets with no place to go i would def. bring them home give them a warm place to stay and warm food. its times like this that we need to band together and help those in need. I hope everyone is staying warm and safe travels
