The Temperature Wars Rage On

I wake up to a room so hot that I can barely breathe. I feel trapped in my blankets and suffocating. I have to climb down off my tall bed and go to the door for a breath of fresh air before I can even face the difficult climb to the heat adjuster or wait for it to take effect. And of course, I overreact in my haste to cool the room, and I change the setting from 5 to 1, and Mayumi undoubtably wonders why I turn the room into a freezer where it hurts her to put her bare feet on the ground at night and her legs may feel cool if she splays them out from under her blankets. But this is how it is. Back and forth...
