It is mid-October, and the weather is holding true for this time of year.

One day it is seventy and sunny and the next day it is fifty and rainy.

The nights are cold and damp, and there is a breeze blowing most of the time. My husband is still in the money-saving mode, and he is being very stingy with the heat. We have a small wood stove in the living room, which he is grudgingly burning when he feels it is cold. I don’t have the tolerance for the cold that he has. I sit in the house with a jacket on. My hands are freezing and it is all I can do to suppress the shivers. For the last couple weeks, I have been plagued with muscle spasms. They are from head to toe and I never know when they are going to hit. I can lay down and my stomach or ribs will cramp. Even if I am walking, my legs and feet will seize and the cramping will start. It is painful and I can’t find anything that will help them. Last week, I told my husband that if he would just turn on the furnace and put some heat in the house, I may not be suffering so badly. He wasn’t happy with me, but he went downstairs and worked on the furnace. He said he had to have it cleaned and serviced before he could turn it on. My husband is retired, and he still tells me that he doesn’t have time. I gave him the choice of turning the furnace on, or I was moving in with my daughter for a few weeks. I had heat that night.
