Know what sucks???

When your furnace takes a dump and it's single digit temperatures outside!

NOT a fun way to start the day for sure. All started on Saturday when T kept accusing me of turning down the furnace cause it was 68 in the house. Now, I know I have been getting hot flashes, but seriously, I never turned down the thermostat.

Woke up on Sunday morning and it 60 in the house. No WAY was I taking the blame for that one! Yeppers, the furnace took a nose dive.

We are lucky enough to have a good friend who comes over and services the furnaces/air conditioners at the three houses. He came over yesterday - in the middle of deer hunting (what a guy!) - and confirmed our worst suspicions.

The good thing is we have a little electric heater that throws off a lot of heat, plus he brought one of his over for us to use.

The bad news is the parts for the furnace won't be available until next week. Yikes!

I guess it could always be worse though - like -20 degrees outside with a 40 mph wind.

Needless to say, I wasn't running around the house in my skivvies this morning! Ha!
