Ladies and gentlemen of the internets,
I am writing you this missive from the kitchen of my residence. It is a southward-facing room, and the doors to the rest of the house are shut. The oven is turned on, and twenty-four candles burn on my counters. Thanks to these measures, I am tolerably warm; though my toes are a bit cold, I am not wearing gloves, and the blanket I had wrapped around me is currently on the floor. I am, however, still wearing thick socks and slippers, sweatpants, a long-sleeved shirt, a sweatshirt, and my nice warm bathrobe.
From this fortress I shall await the arrival of the man who is to fix our furnace.
If you do not hear from me again, please retrieve my frozen body from this kitchen and give it proper burial.

Date: 2007-02-05 04:12 pm (UTC)We also have space blankets if you need them--just call. Also, if once they get there and fix it, you decide that staying someplace warm would be preferable to waiting for your house to warm up, our offer is still extended.
Be careful with that oven, though. That worries me a bit.

Date: 2007-02-05 04:32 pm (UTC)I wouldn't say no to a space blanket if you wanted to bring one by, but I'm staying put for the time being. (I don't particularly want to go into the rest of the house, let alone outside.)

You're probably okay if you stay off of the floor (where it'll settle), but i'd advise a)keeping a carbon monoxide detector around, b)not sleeping in there, and c)staying alert and getting out of there if you feel dizzy or sleepy or anything else that may signal impending hypoxia.

And we have a fully-furnished spare bedroom if you need it. Give a holler so we can get some of the camera gear out of the way first. (Although by sleeping, i meant dozing off over your boring reading. ;)

From my two winters spent in a yurt... you have my sympathy.
Scotch is a god-send. I'm just saying...
