59 Days and Counting

Only 59 days until we are out of this apartment.  And a countdown is definitely needed. We had a horrible weekend. Why? Because we have no heat!

No heat with -17 degrees Celsius (about 1 degree Fahrenheit) this morning. And pretty much the same all weekend makes for a very chilly house. Looking back, I think we've been without heat since Thursday, because that's when Mikey's room started to seem cold. But I never thought to check the heaters until we were freezing Saturday morning. And they were all stone cold.

So we called the supers, who investigated and found the boiler was off. So the whole building had no heat. And apparently we were the only ones who noticed. Several hours later, everyone else had heat, but we still didn't. We tried to call again, but there was no answer.

So we bundled up in warm pjs and heavy blankets. First thing Sunday morning, I called again, and the super was not happy that we were still freezing. He brought us over some space heaters because he knew the company would not send anyone out to look on the weekend.

Space heaters are good, but only if you can run them. Our apartment is basically on two circuits. One for the living room/dining room/kitchen, and one for the bedrooms/bathroom. And you can only plug one heater in without blowing the circuit. Fabulous. Needless to say, my husband and I had to bundle up in multiple blankets last night because the heater was in my son's room.

Hopefully we get heat today, and things can go back to normal crap, without the added bonus of freezing crappiness. 59 days in deed...
