Welcome to Siberia

That's about what it feels like in my house right now. Okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch because it's 53 in here, but relatively speaking it feels REALLY cold. Especially to me because my hands and feet will turn blue/purple (literally) when the temperature is "normal", much less when it is cold. I've been so cold that when I take a shower the water burns my feet and I can't tell how warm it is because my skin is so cold. Also my shampoo is in this solid-gel like form due to the temp of the bathroom, which is probably the coldest room because it gets little sun light. Needless to say, my heat is not working. I actually found this out a week or so ago, but I was out of town for a week and then I've worked the past couple days so I haven't had a chance to do anything about it. A man is supposed to come and see about fixing it today and I am VERY happy about that. Until it gets fixed though, I have resorted to staying bundled up and drinking lots of coffee. I have also on occasion been using the oven as an alternate heat source.
On a completely different note, I feel the need to express my frustration with the drug companies. Yesterday, I found out the the manufactures of the medication that I have taken for my heart condition for the past 8 years has decided to stop making the strength that I take! So no more of this medication in generic of name brand. Why would someone all the sudden stop making something, when there is no substitute out there. So my cardiologist is trying me on a slightly different dose to see if that will work. I'm kind of freaked out though, cause it took a lot of work in the beginning to get this regulated and I worried that this won't work and my rhythm will get out of wack and I'll end up having runs of V-tach (which is a very bad thing for those you who aren't sure what that means.) Oh well, hopefully everything will be okay. So, there's my ranting for the day.
