Happy Medium?

Even though I don't pay for heat in my apartment, I appreciate that oil is crazy expensive and my landlords are on a limited budget. If I'm working all day, my cats are fine in my house with the temps hovering around 66 degrees. SO when I leave in the morning, I turn down the heat.

It was set at 66 when I finally made it home tonight from the gym around 7:30, except the actual tempeture was at 63! 63 DEGREES! And this was after I worked out, cooled down, then walked outside in the SNOW! I come home, go inside and it is 63 degrees! I grab that thing and turn it up to 70 to warm my house up.

Nothing. I play with it some more, take the cover off, flick it around. Nothing.

I sat on the sofa, at the sandwich I bought on my way home, wrapped up in a blanket. FREEZING!

Got up again. STILL 63 degrees. Played with it again. Nothing.

At 8pm, when my figures were numb, I called downstairs to my landlord, apologized for bothering her and said that it was 63 up here. She said she'd take care of it.

Yay! The heat kicked on. I set it at 68, knowing that it would take a bit for the actual heat to reach the thermastat before it shut back off.

Um, ya, no. Now it is 73 degrees in my house! WHAT THE HELL! And the heat is still on! I turned it back down, spun it down to 50. Now the friggin heat won't shut off! :(

Wait... silence! Did my heat just shut off??? NO way! I think it might have! Good, cuz now I need to go find my chap stick and grab some more water! I'm freakin sweating now!
