Heat miser: heat me, sir!

We'd decided to keep the thermostat nice and low this winter. Things were going well (and we could see it in the heat bills) until Echo's arthritis started acting up and she could barely get around. So we turned the heat up, stationed the big comfy kitty pillow right in front of the heat vent, and added a space heater for good measure. (Of course Echo won't stay too long in any one place, and has since moved into a cardboard box in a different room, but Eisa sure loves it.)

Speaking of heat misers, we recorded and watched the Heat/Snow miser holiday special... was the original "Year without a Santa Claus" THAT bad? (IMDB says no.)

Here's a bit of the original here. LOVE that they got the original Heat Miser voice actor back 34 years later! Go, Mr Heat Miser, go!

I like quilts too
