What a weekend. A bit of a rollercoaster... but at least it's more like the kiddie version.
Got a question first, then I'll write the saga of the weekend.
When we are in the car, I always drive. If it's less than 75 degrees, my wife is freezing. If it's more than 75, I'm roasting. We have the home thermostat battle, too, but let's work on the car first. The old me would have huffed, fussed, whined, dramatically opened the window for a bit.... right now, I'm just toughing it out and sweating a lot while I drive. The question is, how to find a fair compromise. In the winter, I always try to take my coat off because I know the heater will be blasting in the car, but sometimes it's too cold to do that, and it's a pain to stop for that on the road (most roads around here have nowhere safe to pull over anyway).
It seems to me a bit more important that the driver be comfortable, and easier for the passenger to make adjustments. Maybe we could keep a blanket in the car? An extra scarf? She could were gloves? If it's a short drive, I'm willing to sweat it out without complaining, but maybe we should have an agreement of sorts. Down the road, when we've tackled some bigger issues.
