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.

Our shower ran out of hot water this morning as I put in my conditioner, which is a 3 minute conditioner

If you need a place to warm up, you're always welcome here. Give us a call first to make sure we're around.

We lost our furnace in January in Binghamton a few years back; had no heat for three days. When they finally got it fixed, the warmest room in the house (the one with two space heaters in it, only one window, and blankets hung over the doorways so the heat wouldn't escape) was in the 40's; the rest of the house was about 20 degrees. It's a wonder our pipes didn't freeze.

Which is to say, I feel your pain. :( Hope it gets fixed soon.

Well, there is always the fireplace of Casa Big Sky where I shall be constructing a very large fire soon to fight off the evening wind. Of course that would mean driving out here in sub-zero temps for twenty minutes, getting warm, and then driving back through the cold to a house that...

Oh.. nevermind.

From my two winters spent in a yurt... you have my sympathy.

Scotch is a god-send. I'm just saying...

Oh no!!! I am so sorry to read about the cold having attacked your house by means of furnace murder. Sigh.

May it get fixed soon or I will back kniedzw 100% in choking a bitch.

if escape is still needed in the days to come (i trust not, see: choke a bitch), my place is empty, warm, and full of kitty goodness during the day.

well, if I was permitted to access LJ at the school, I would have seen this earlier. But I ditto everyone else on the offer of "warm space" I've been keeping our apartment at 75+, and we have wi-fi and it's close to your abode, should you need a brief thawing time.

That said...what is it with your guys' karma lately? It's like God is taking a big dump on you!

Everyone else is being nice, so I'm just gonna say that if you get frozen in your house I'm going to vote for leaving you there so that they can find your frozen body during the next interstitial and deduce our subsistance mode from the preserved contents of your stomach.

Your death will be a great contribution to science.

Just think of it, though. Now you'll have a better experiential source to draw from when writing and characterizing people huddled in the cold!

Also, I hope the furnace repair-er comes soon.

It annoys me when houses are not as warm as they should be. My thermostat is a little wonky-- I set it at seventy and independent thermometers range from sixty to sixty-five.
If you cannot take a long hot bath, I suggest baking something that involves lots of dishes that you then have to wash. Hot water will do a lot of good.
