Monday 12-16 Cold Day

It's cold

We started the day out with rain. It didn't get out of the 40s with wind out of the northeast.

For more than 30 years we slept in a waterbed, one of the things you grow to love about a waterbed is the heater, it keeps the bed nice and warm. Awhile back we switched from the waterbed to a Sleep Number bed which doesn't have a heater. Everytime we get into bed it's cold. We tried using an old heated blanket that we had laying around but it didn't help much. Larry found that some folks really liked having heated mattress covers. He ordered one and we received it yesterday. It has a controller for each side of the bed, we started off with it at 7 and it was really nice and warm when we got into bed but it was too warm for sleeping. We now set it at 2, it is still warm when we get in bed and comfortable for sleeping. The mattress cover controllers run for 10 hours and then turn off, perfect for a good night sleep.

I got up with a headache caused by allergies. I made breakfast and then went back to bed. While I was sleeping Larry continued working on Amazon photos. We have so many photos that it's going to take him a long long time. By the time I woke up it was time for lunch. I made Campbell's soup.

Fighting allergies

After lunch we went to town to do a little Christmas shopping. In fact we finished it up. Then we went back to the house.

Christmas shopping

While hanging around the house I read and Larry continued his photo project. We watched our YouTube videos. 

In the evening I wrapped the Christmas gifts. Larry strolled through our Amazon movie list and didn't find anything that sound interesting. So he went through our dvds and we decided to watch Top Gun. We hadn't watched it in a long time. It is just as good as before. I didn't realize that it was made in 1986. It starred Tom Curse, Meg Ryan, Tim Robbins and Anthony Edwards. Then we watched an episode of Boston Legal. I watched a few episodes of Bones. I did my daily challenges.
