I can't feel my fingers.

Back when November rolled around, I got really excited about the fact that heat is included in our rent. As soon as it got cold out, I was able to turn the thermostat all the way up and cuddle in the warmth of my apartment without worrying about how much it would cost to live in a consistently delicious hug of yum.

Then December happened. And I realized that our heaters are shit.

No matter how high I set the thermostat, the temperature never climbs above 63 degrees. I've had the thing set on a suffocating 85 degrees for a month, but it still shuts off at 63. And 63 degrees is really cold.

I'm not really sure how to trick the heater into staying on longer, so for now I'm just wearing multiple pairs of socks and waiting for my free Snuggie to arrive in the mail. I'll have to call our super to see what's up - if he can't fix it, at least he could buy me one of these.
