    When I was much younger, I once lived in a not properly insulated 2 room built at the back of some dude’s heavy equipment garage for about a year in the great planes at the 47 latitude line. -30F some days. I slept on one blanket and placed two more over the top of my head. Wore 3 shirts most days. Drank almost exclusively hot tea.

    TBH it was pretty cozy at times. I definitely slept better than any point after the fucking Trump admin started again.

    EDIT: To clarify, there was a bed and frame to keep it off the ground. The blanket over the top of the bed was just a little extra. If it was a blanket on the ground I would be dead, obviously.

      I used to live in a converted outside garden corridor, and I remember waking up with morning dew on my blankets each winter morning
