Uh-oh.

We are currently without heat. The circuit board in our eighteen-month-old furnace has blown, and the repair person (who was here within the hour) said that he doesn't have any in stock. So he's going to order one. It will be delivered to our mail box tomorrow or Tuesday, and then we call to make an appointment to have it installed, hopefully that same day.

Piet has headed out to see if Zellers or Lowes is still open, so he can purchase a space heater. We have one, and we can borrow one from the in-laws, but one for each bedroom is a bare minimum overnight. If any local folks have one they can lend us for a couple of days, we'd be grateful. It's going to get pretty chilly around here - the temperature outside isn't supposed to go higher than seven degrees celcius all week. (Though I should be grateful that it will at least be above freezing most days!)

I have a feeling I'm not taking a sick day tomorrow. I have no interest in being a Velvicicle.

EDIT: Piet bought two small ones at Zellers and borrowed a big one from his parents, so we're okay for tonight, I think.

I have one you can borrow...it's one of those little cube thingys, but it heats up my room right quick-like. It's yours if you want it.

Piet found two at Zellers, so we're okay for now, but if that changes, we'll let you know. Thanks for the offer!

Thanks! We have three little ones, and one larger one from my folks, so we should be able to manage. :) We'll see how tonight goes, though.

Well, let me know if you need mine - I'll even deliver it! :)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Certainly!

We should have you over at some point, regardless of space heater delivery.
