I cook almost every day, run the dishwasher and really really really dislike heat--and esp. wet heat as in the kitchen where I spend a lot of my time.
I could tolerate 76-77 settings on the thermostat when I was younger but at about my fifth decade, cannot stand feeling hot and 'muggy' in my home.
It's a luxury that the family accepts for me...I know DH and my son and his family have been a bit cold and uncomfortable. I just tell them 'layer up' and let's keep Mom happy.
