A while ago I moved in with my parents to relieve my wife from having to juggle two kids, the household, her elderly parents, her work and me. And my parents have this fancy digital thermostat I can control from my smartphone.

At the start I had it set to 17° C. But by now I have it at 15° to feel comfortable. Granted, I lay under a blanket most of the time. But higher temperatures also feel bad on exposed parts of my body.

Kind of feels like my body is slowly shutting down. It’s a little bit unsettling. No idea what I will do in the summer. We only have a radiator and no AC.
