Oh, I hate to admit this,

Oh, I hate to admit this, but cleaning the house will warm you up in no time! I'm the only one in my house that feels the cold, but mopping the kitchen floor, sweeping the living room, or scrubbing a bath tub has me peeling off one or two of my three or four layers of clothes.

On nights I don't clean, I am in that bath tub, with a stack of books, magazines and notebooks for a few hours. A hot bath at 7 can keep me warm until I crawl under my electric blanket, which I only use to preheat the bed.

And I certainly don't think you're a wimp, but I live in San Diego, so my opinion probably doesn't hold much weight:)
