chilly

we accidentally let the heating oil run out. and because we're genuises, didn't figure it out until the vents had been blowing cold air for like a day. hey, it was freakishly warm here! and yeah, we're idiots.

so, oops.

luckily, before jbb had called the oil folks to come fill it on thursday already, so we just had them move it up to today. holy crap is this stuff expensive! the bill makes me want to go lie down for a while.

but the furnace guy just left, after changing the filter thing and doing his magic, so now i am cranking the heat to a decent temp, and standing over the nice warm vents until my feet defrost. according to the thermostat it was 50 deg in the house. Ehh. still warmer than my parents house (my mom likes to see how long she can go before turning on the heat each year. good times, yeah.)
