cold!

Roz, you would cease to exist at our house ... since Saturday. OUR FURNACE IS/WAS broken! Imagine waking up to the sound of metal on metal ... wait! back track.. let me start at the beginning.

Last Saturday, Brad says to me that he has some bad news. *insert the face of devastation. There was mouse poop in our basement. Simon, you're fired! No, he's not. We deduced that there was a mouse having a poop party in our house over Christmas while we and the felines were away. So, Brad tells me this knowing of my fear of the rodent.

OK, Sunday morning, bright and early we wake up to the sound of metal on metal and scraping! Instantly I think there are mice having another fiesta in our furnace vents! After this initial fear lapses, I begin to realize exactly how cold I am! It is freezing! ..... Yes, the furnace is (or is in the process of) crapping out.

SO, it has now taken 4 full working days to get the furnace in working order. I'll believe it when I feel it. You know, having a home that's 12 C for nearly a week--- while that might seem warm compared to the current temp outside... its freakin cold for a home! And especially for persons such as me who enjoy a home that is 22 C. Persons like Roz and Nelson that live in an inferno all year round would cease to exist in my home right now. How inhospitable is that! Anyway, Brad said 'its fixed'. Here's hoping I don't have to wear mittens in my home anymore.

ok so i've done an hour of work so its time for a break so I will relate a "cold" story to. Do you remember last year when it was minus 40 for almost a week? Well I do because the heating in my building went out. And since one of my walls is pretty much a big window, ya any heat strait out. So now any time that it gets really cold my heat is suspect.

Wow, I would die if the temperature in my home dropped below 67C.
Hehe.
Would you like to borrow Max as a fuzzy blanket? He makes an excellent insulator at night.

Wow that's crazy that it took so long to get your furnace fixed! Ridiculous! What if it was -20 outside!?!? Glad to hear things should be getting warmer soon. I'll think of you and send warm thoughts from Mexico. Hehe.

Oh, and thanks. I had fun running around and stuff. Can't wait til I figure out how to use that damn stick! :P
