Re: Tips for keeping warm
The rice packs are awesome. Small ones that can fit in a coat pocket are good when you go outside. Or put in a sweater or hoodie pocket inside. Big ones to put in the bed, or in your lap or under your feet at the computer.
The oven is lovely when the weather gets cold, but even a crock pot cooking all day adds some heat to the kitchen. When it gets really cold and dry I try to keep a kettle of water on very low heat on the stove to add heat and moisture.
Candles, in glass chimneys or jars, also add some heat. Learned this one time when ice took down the power lines. I set out a metal tray with about a dozen candles on it and got both light and heat.
Getting up and moving around warms me up, but I have fibromyalgia and when I get cold I find it very hard to get moving.
I hate wearing hats so I wear my hoodie in the house when it's really cold. I love fuzzy socks but need something more substantial between my feet and floor since we ripped out the carpet and replaced it with vinyl flooring, so I wear slippers with thick foam soles or a pair of crocs that are big enough to wear with socks.
