So today I was really not feeling well- cold to the max: stuffy nose, cough, headache, sleepiness, and just general sucky. So, I decided to head out of work early today and head home.
Only to hear the sound of our neighbor's carbon monoxide alarm going off. So, after opening the door to my apartment, having a panic attack about whether I should try and save the cat or run for it, getting really dizzy and shaky, I decided to call 911 and have them rescue the cat.
When the fire department showed up, they very kindly rescued Tiggs from a horrible brain-cell killing death. She awaited patiently in my car while the firemen checked out the sit.
Long and short is that the heat is off, because it is extremely faulty and leaking CO, and won't be fixed until Monday. The CO registered VERY high, and we had to have the gas company come out and see what was going on before we were clear to go back in the building. Insane.
And it's making me really cranky, because I found out that:
1.) Our carbon monoxide detector is posted so high on the wall that it is essentially ineffective.
2.) Our boiler system for heat is a big no-no, and must be fixed before we can get heat- absolutely annoying and cold!
3.) I still have a super sucky cold, and now I have to sit in the cold and wallow in my misery. Not the weekend I had planned.
Well, thanks for letting me complain, universe! I'm just glad it worked out ok is the important piece. Everyone's ok.
That was undeniably the worst turn of events ever! Eat some ice cream, my dear, and listen to happy Hanson music; we all know their angelic voices and harmonies have healing powers. :-) You know what else has healing powers? http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/songs/?query=coal%20war%20joshua%20james
