Things seemed to be going okay till Thursday when I woke to no heat in the house. It wouldn’t be such a big deal except my landlord is out of town and will be through Monday night 
I spose I could call the heating company and get it fixed, but that’s just not how I do things. He is a friend but I don’t want to get in a dispute over my choice of repair places, money etc…Also, there is absolutely nothing working on the damn thing, the fan mode doesn’t even work so I don’t know if an entire new system is in order. (I reset the fuse, so I am kind of sure it’s not a fuse issue)
I had one space heater that got me through a very cold night last night. Thankfully WalMart still had some in stock so I bought two more and it’s already up to 60 degrees. The temp is 'sposed to drop to 19 degrees over night
I have some stretch type pants on under the sweat pants, fuzzy socks and my falling apart slippers, a sweat shirt on with a shirt on over that. So I am kind of staying warm.
My next bummer is, I was 'sposed to get my new computer today but the guy forgot to bring it with him That’s not as crucial as the heat thing but I was hoping that I could play with my new toy and make my weekend go a little better.
Hey, look at it this way:
If this ever happens again, in about 3-5 weeks, you can come hang out at my place! Won’t that be fun? It’ll be like a sleep-over (Okay, but I get to be on top! 
) except that it’ll only be the three of us.
“Winners never quit and quitters never win, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.”
LOL San,
By that time the nights will be warmer and the days even warmer…what a crappy time of year for the heat to go out since there is only a couple more months of really cold nights left.
Hey, did you find an apartment yet? Remember where I said to look, they aint the greatest of places but much better than other parts of the city!
you do realize you can go to your local gas company and borrow space heaters free of charge…I know…my goofy brother is a gasfitter
Oh, I feel for you! Wish I could help.
What kind of heat do you have? Oil, gas, electricity, propane, corncobs?
Is there a reset button on the furnace?
Your fingers are gonna get cold!
Can you get to the fan? To see if it’s stuck somehow?
Somebody help her please!!!
whooo hoooo that was fun.
I was talking to a local heating company, he had me remove the main fuse on the system (after the power to the unit itself was shut off, not at the main breaker) and I got a good dose of electricity!
Talk about cheap shock treatment, I think I needed that…it got my heart racing big time!
The breaker switch is off now and tomorrow I will run down to Home Depot and get another fuse.
Wow that was fun!
Hopefully, this will be a success…the thing I don’t look forward to is relighting the pilot light, natural gas (outside of the kind you get from Taco Bell) scares me!
===============
Thanks Auntie, I appreciate your support.
===============
Although I don’t recommend shock treatments, that was a trip!
aaaaaaahhhhhh, a tropical 68 degrees with only 3 space heaters in a house that is about 1600 square feet (these aren’t exactly industrial heaters either)
I am in heaven compared to last night, it’s amazing what 8-10 degrees will do for comfort in the home.
The metallic taste from the shock left my mouth, this is a good thing!
On to fixing the heater tomorrow, man I hope it’s only the fuse!
You can call me Santi.
All my other friends do.
Wow, not a pleasant thing to have happen! But it sounds like you were really proactive in taking care of things, just try to close down as much of your house as you can, make it a camp out time, to conserve your heat, everyone snuggle close!! 
“Subconsciously there are many people you hate.” “Consciously,sir, consciously.” Yossarian corrected in an effort to help. “I hate them consciously.”
Well San…I shall call you Santi from now on…I feel priviledged Seriously, I will be here for you and the GF when you two move here.
=================
Anti, I wish I had another to snuggle with.
The kitties have been snuggling, but now that it’s warmer, they are off on the couch enjoying part of their 23 hours of sleep. dog is too big and has too much hair to snuggle with. He takes up a large part of the bed and actually has been in heaven in the colder temps here.
It’s actually much warmer in here than it was last night. My fear is to leave all the heaters on over night. I spose I will, but there is something about it that unsettles me.
OH and I can type normally, last night I was typing like a little old lady with arthritis cuz my fingers were so cold!!!
Keep your finger crossed for me that it is only the heater fuse and nothing else. I have a broken pipe to the sprinkler system that the landlord will have to fix this spring, I really want to minimize the problems ya know?
