I am doing exactly that I guess I was thinking that the yeast would go dormit but wort earned up on its own
 
Don't even have to warm it up.

I always cool my wort to 60 to 62 degrees and then add the yeast and allow it to rise up to 65ish for fermentation. That makes a great fermentation, and happy yeast. Hopefully you did the same- chilled to 60 degrees and added the yeast and then let it go.
 
I put my feed line in a bucket of ice made all the difference I brew inside

Oh, I brew inside too! Our climate is far too nasty for me to step outside to brew. But my tap water in my kitchen sink is at 45 degrees now, and about 60 degrees in the summer. It sure chills faster! I have a counterflow chiller, so I am at 60 degrees as fast as the wort can pump.
 
That's sweet my temp has stayed pretty much the same maybe 5 degrees lower in the winter the feed line in a bucket of ice made a huge difference cut my chill time in half
