How many spouses argue over thermostat's settings in the home?

We do.
Hubby is always cold and I am always too warm!
The temperatures did dip even here in Southwest Florida, and it has been unusually cold, but not as bad as the rest of our country or even our state from the middle portion to the northern parts are so much colder!
We, though have had high thirties overnight, when it's usually fifties or sixties overnight this time of the year, and not usual daytime temperatures in the fifties, with a high of 60 for today, although right now we are at a very chilly 56 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our daytime temperatures should be mid seventies to low eighties... but alas they will return next week! WHEW!

Inside we keep the central air set on seventy-five at night and seventy-seven during the day, during the warm weather.
And Hubby has the central heat for this short cold snap now over a week long, on seventy-seven too, but on heat!
Both settings keep me too warm!
And he insists that he is freezing! He uses our fleecy throw to keep himself warm.
Dilemma!

Too warm for my MS, Multiple Sclerosis is nasty and can temporarily exacerbate the disease.
Hubby on the other hand believes his personal thermostat is correct... so we strongly disagree.
And I end up in bed with the paddle fan on the ceiling going with the heat on for him, same for the air conditioner, the fan going for supplementation of additional cooling too!
Also I have used ice packs on severe days.
I do not want Hubby to have any medical conditions that need intervention, but I do think his body thermostat is broken!
He insists it is mine that is broken!
So that is what happens daily an argument ensues.

My right hand is not too good right now even with the brace, and lefty appears to be more and more numb in the middle palm and back of hand as well as the ring and pinkie fingers.
And that reminds me of my impingement of my ulnar nerve on my right elbow causing that on that side! Oh no! Golfer's elbow on both sides and I have never even been a real golfer!
CRAZY!
My life; the view can be odd.

Oops... speaking my mind and heart once again tonight; so make yours a happy good night!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
