#TipsFromCrips

Still cold despite hot water bottle, warming pad, poncho, robe, many layers of clothing, 2 blankets, hairdryer blasts & Tiger Balm? Consider closing the window. #TipsFromCrips

If you have leftover bubble wrap, a squirt bottle, and reaching assistance, you can use water to stick bubble wrap to window surfaces much more easily than the acrobatics needed by those adhesive shrink wrap systems, and I think the bubble wrap is more effective too.

That is brilliant - thanks so much :-)

Gotta share the warm hacks! I'm trying to figure out if I can free up an outlet for the travel hair dryer, that one seems genius too.

😂 Because we know it happens 😂

Every one of the #TipsFromCrips was written in direct response to experiences, if memory serves (brainfog = can never 100% guarantee it). It gets *cold* in my office at night (I prefer to work at night: day is too noisy, bright and generally less ideal than night for working, for me #Chronodiverse)

I've done the exact same thing 😂

Thank you for all the tips. I never thought of a hair dryer but that's perfect.

It was one of those 'shivering and looking around at what was nearby' moments - I'd only recently realised I could use a hairdryer if it's a travel one (my EDS wrists sublux with a normal weight one so I'd been letting it dry naturally for *decades*) Lives in my desk drawer now
