I am not naked right now

I have seen a few posts based on a prompt with some questions. The last question is something about what's the last time you spent most of the day naked. Is that something people actually want to know about their followers? My immediate thought was of Diane Arbus's photos of folks at nudist camps in the mid 1960s. The one that stands out in my mind is someone sitting on a leatherette sofa. I don't object to nudity but I do object personally to the icky feeling against one's skin of that kind of surface (still true if you're wearing shorts or a bathing suit or whatever - you don't have to be naked). The weather doesn't matter. Hanging around naked all day sounds uncomfortable to me, not fun. So I'm not naked now, but I'm not wearing as many clothes as usual. We are in the midst of a possible blizzard (apparently you can't declare it a definite blizzard until after the fact, because you need at least three hours of a certain measured level of sustained winds). The snow is denser/heavier this time than some of the fluff (even deep fluff) from earlier this winter, meaning tree limbs and wires are at risk. Since it was predicted that many people would lose power, there have been lists of preparations (charging things, etc.). One of them was to turn your heat up so that if you lose power it would take longer to get to a really cold feeling interior. I keep the house at 55 F because of guilt about wastefulness and carbon emissions. This requires wearing layers while I'm hanging around the house. I turned the thermostat up by 10 degrees late last night, to what I gather is normal baseline for some people. I'm lucky (so far) with the electricity so I'm about to turn the thermostat back down. In the meantime, I am wearing just a t shirt on top (not two or three more layers), and when I rowed this morning I was uncomfortably sweaty. I have become acclimated to my indoor climate. I feel overheated in a lot of public places, but I don't spend as much time there, I guess. By contrast, the ringing room at Old North is cooler than my house during the winter. My hands still get stiff and dry in the winter, though.
