I woke up to a frantic mother, telling me there was no heat!
I LOVE my bedroom COLD and would not have noticed if the furnace had quit. I have a window open all winter.

I went into the basement to check on the furnace. Not working. I threw the emergency switch and...nothing. I am sitting here waiting for the gas company to show up to diagnose what ails the furnace. Hopefully, it is something that can be easily fixed.
My mom was freezing cold and was, tearfully, feeling very overwhelmed.. Sent her to the senior center, where she can interact with her friends and can enjoy the distractions there. We will see what transpires!

Things like this keep me young! I have to think on my feet, shift gears, improvise, etc. It may feel very inconvenient; yet, it keeps me using some skills which could otherwise fall by the wayside. This viewpoint might be the silver lining?.
Let's see how I feel when it is 6 pm and the gas company has not yet shown up! LOL!

I hope everyone has a great day!!!
