Just exactly what we needed.

So. The first set of home PT exercises: not much fun. I slept wretchedly thanks to the vertigo and my dear little beast, who decided that it was the perfect evening to be bratty. And when I went lurching down the stairs this morning, I noticed that the kitchen floor was cold. Really cold. Really, really cold. Like the air around me, in fact: cold. I checked the thermostat, and it was a good ten degrees F colder than it's set for. Attempted to poke the furnace from the thermostat control. No result.

It is a really bad idea for me to go lurching down the basement stairs at this stage of dizziness to see if we can poke the furnace into submission, and everyone else is still asleep. But in fact I'm not so sure there's going to be much we can do on our own anyway, so the optimal strategy may be to call and leave a message on a furnace repairperson's machine first thing and then to do my first round of PT exercises and crawl back into bed.

Bleh.

Edited to add: Wiktory! The furnace technician is scheduled to arrive at 9:00.

Yay for technicians with toolboxes and training! Who will arrive quickly.

That's not good to read, after the past few weeks of reading other people talking about just how cold it gets out your way. Glad to hear the tech will be arriving promptly.

It is not any degrees F here this morning. None of them. So yah, glad the tech will be arriving promptly, glad we have decent windows, wish we had better doors.

Hooray for prompt technicians!

While we were in China it was 4F in Boston and our oil boiler died. We were very, very, very grateful to have someone else living in the house, who could call for the repair guy to come by.

Yah, I can see how arriving home with a new baby and no heat would not seem optimal somehow.

may you soon be pleasantly warm because your furnace is working.

I hope that the furnace technician has arrived and already successfully fixed things, and you are now warm or at least warming up.

Oh, I hate that first bleary realization that something is Not Right with the life support. I hope it's all fixed now. The default thing to go wrong is the thermocoupler.

Heat is good. Certainly at this temperature.

Up here, in fact a bit further, the U of M is reporting 9.6F at 9am, so we seem to have a definite temperature gradient across the metro.

It's warmed up a bit here (outside) since I posted that: 7 F on our back porch. Wheee.
