Woke Up With Frozen Snot.
5:45 a.m. – Sneak my arm out from under the quilts to reach the hoodie on the floor. Tiptoe to the bathroom. My bare foot nearly sticks to the tile it is so cold. Same thing happens with the toilet and my bum.
5:47 a.m. – Finally crawl back under the covers. “Nick… Something is very wrong out there.”
6:35 a.m. – Nick makes the first attempt to shed the covers and venture out. I follow. Nick inspects the furnace. I do too, but I have no idea what I’m looking at.
6:55 a.m. – Nick calls the repair man. I take an extremely hot shower.
7:37 a.m. – Nick leaves for work. I put on an extra sweater, Nick’s zip up, a scarf, an extra pair of socks and slippers. I wait for the repair man. I wait… I wait… I wait…
11:17 a.m. – Still waiting…
11:34 a.m. – He’s here! Hallelujah!
11:54 a.m. – I hear furnace kick in and rejoice. Time to head to work.
