I have seen for sale (even in my fat-broads' sizes) fleece-lined jeans, sweat pants (and shirts) that are fleecy on the inside, and even fleece-lined tights. I never bought any of them, because until recently I have not known what it felt like to feel cold - I have always been too warm most of the time. But the stroke and the kidney and gall bladder issues seem to have changed my perceptions of heat and cold, to the point where I piled blankets and quilts on my bed to form a nice warm little burrow to sleep in. Certain sensory things got re-programmed, and I think my newly reawakened fondness for chili peppers is part of it. (I made steamed chicken with salted chilis again last night, and it made me feel really good. I also ate bread and butter with it instead of rice - bread and butter makes anything feel like a MEAL.)

I know I'm going to have a lot of trouble adjusting to global warming - modern mid-latitude summer gets hot enough to make me sick. I actually once tried to apply for a job at McMurdo Base in Antarctica, just to get away from warm weather. They weren't hiring, of course.
