So, the weather forecast tonight is for a hard freeze. The temperature is already 29 degrees according to Accuweather. Which means it's colder here. I'm guessing the true low for the south valley tonight will be in the teens.
I'm going to get another outdoor thermometer for outside the solarium. It's very possible I was right about the temperature last winter and it did go below 0 degrees around my house. It's just not recorded properly. Recorded metro temperatures went down to 9 degrees and the valley is often 10 degrees colder than other metro areas.
I'm glad I moved the cinder blocks into the solarium. Even though they weren't in there the whole day yesterday, it seems they helped maintain the temperature last night by another 5-6 degrees or more.
May have made an error. Today was rather cool. I left the door to the solarium open so the dogs would be more likely to explore and start using it. They didn't and leaving the door open kept the temperature from building as much as it has been. Topped off at 88. I turned the radiant heater on high and oscillating, to reach all the plants.
Last couple of days my allergies have been really bad. I have to figure it's either from dry air or (more likely) smoke from neighbors fireplaces. I don't know what they're burning but I can tell some of them are not burning clean wood. I kept the window open last night for the temperature but that probably let in the smoke, also. Think I'll run the humidifier tonight and close the window.
I've been venturing out into the online dating world again. And once again being reminded just how disheartening that can be. Unbelievable how out of balance most people are. But there is a new karaoke group forming which I intend to try out.
Just going to start getting out more often. Including joining a fitness center. Definitely need that. Working at home the last nearly 1 1/2 years has started taking a toll. More so with winter coming in. I admit, I'm out of shape. Need to deal with it.
