Also I&#8217;ve got my vent blocked because there is dust in the system that drives my allergies haywire, so I&#8217;d rather not muck with that. Barron likes to keep the heat really low, and given the size of the house I can&#8217;t blame her.  <\/p>\n<p>But I leave the space heater on at 60 degrees all the time.  (Its a ceramic heater so there is a very reduced danger of fire.  I&#8217;m really comfortable that no part of the thing gets hot enough to set anything else on fire.)<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ve been coming home and I&#8217;ve noted that its been off.  I don&#8217;t remember turning it off but there is the slim, slim possibility that I&#8217;m turning it off while I&#8217;m sleeping.  (I can forget things that I do in the groggy initial stages of waking up.)<\/p>\n<p>But honestly I think Barron&#8217;s turning it off&#8230;  Thats my guess, but I also don&#8217;t want to falsely accuse her given that our relationship is so poor.  So I taped this note to the heater:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To whoever keeps turning this thing off:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You shouldn&#8217;t be in my room, I don&#8217;t go in yours, so I&#8217;d appreciate the same respect.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>If you have a problem with it you should talk to me or leave me a note.  You shouldn&#8217;t go behind my back.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Please don&#8217;t turn it off again.  Talk to me first.  Or if you want you could just pretend you didn&#8217;t see this note and leave it on this time and into the future.. Your choice.<\/li>\n<p><\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So yeah, is a bit passive, but it has the intended effect.  It can&#8217;t falsely accuse anyone, and it is communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I have a space heater for my room because it gets really fucking cold in this house.
