I woke up flushed and having a hard time breathing.
I thought it was my asthma acting up again and reached for my inhaler.
When it got my hand from beneath the covers, I knew it wasn’t my asthma. It was just as sizzling in the room as it was beneath the blankets. I was suffocating and had to check the control unit. My eyeah were burning by the time I evaluated the control device and realized it was a concern with the gas furnace. I set the control device for sixty, but it was almost ninety in the room. I didn’t guess the control device in the dining room would make that much difference. I got out of the dining room, and the entire house was hot. I opened a window, but had to close it. It was snowing, and the snow was being blown into the house. I opened a window that was away from the wind, but it still pulled snow inside. I called the Heating and A/C contractor and told them the gas furnace was working overtime, and explained how sizzling it was in my home. He said some people would be happy about the heat, although I didn’t love his sarcasm. I told him that if he didn’t want to service the gas furnace, I could find someone else who would. He couldn’t show until day, so I curled up on the floor in the basement kitchen, where it was always cool. The next day, i was up at 6 AM, waiting for the Heating and A/C specialist, who didn’t arrive until almost 11 AM, and I was not happy.
