I'm personally determined to not turn on the heat in our house until October. Today's Sept. 21, and last night and the night before were chilly, quite chilly.
(The thermostat upstairs dipped to 58 degrees both nights.)
We sent the kids to bed wearing layers and everyone slept until 7 a.m., which is later than usual. We broke out extra blankets for everyone's beds.
We have about 3/4 of a tank of oil. It would be nice to not need oil until November, maybe even December. Unfortunately, we're on Automatic Delivery, so I have a feeling the oil company will come when they're scheduled to come. Also, it will get colder soon. I don't think we'd be classified as good parents if the inside temperature dropped to the 40s - that's cold!
The good thing is, today was warm, the outside temperature reaching the upper 70s, and the thermometer got up to 68 degrees upstairs, plenty warm. We closed the windows to seal in the heat after the kids' naps this afternoon. Yesterday, we did not take advantage of the warm daytime temperatures.
It will be a slight defeat when we have to turn on the heat - which we will only do upstairs, for naps and sleeping times. Let's hope for some warm nighttime temperatures!
