Something I do like about this season...

I just put my big grey quilt on my bed, and in a little while I'll be snuggling underneath it!

Beats sweating on top of the sheets in July!

it was over 110 degrees then for 9-12 days in a row.

I'm like you, I'm more comfortable when it's cooler, & I can control the temperature during the night with blankets rather than with A/C.

And I'm now in an apt where I can control the temperature. In my last, I couldn't, and during winters there it was way overheated (85 degrees in my bedroom in January, ugh!), so I lived in shorts and t-shirts and slept on top of the bedclothes with a fan on. Now I get to enjoy the cozy feeling of my blankets and down comforter.
