The Thermostat Shuffle

The Thermostat Shuffle

It's become a "thing" Taryn and I do.  We've been doing it for eight years now, so we've become rather good at it.  It's so rhythmic it's almost like dancing.  She gets a turn than I get a turn than she gets another turn and so on and so on.  This routine continues all winter long.  I'm referring to what I call The Thermostat Shuffle.

Whenever we're both home at the same time, one of us is unhappy with the setting of the thermostat.  Taryn turns it up a degree or two and shortly thereafter I turn it back down.  When Taryn gets home the first thing she does is increase the room temperature.  If I get home after her, one of my first actions is to lower the heat.  We've got this down to a fine art.  It's sort of romantic, really.  The Thermostat Shuffle has become a dependable event in an ever-changing world.
