I woke up flushed and having a hard time breathing. I thought it was our asthma acting up again and reached for our inhaler. When it got our hand from beneath the covers, I knew it wasn’t our 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 eyep were burning by the time I checked the control equipment and realized it was a problem with the furnace. I set the control equipment for sixty, but it was almost ninety in the room. I didn’t guess the control equipment in the dining room would make that much difference. I got out of the dining room, and the entire home 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 plus Air Conditioning company and told them the furnace was working overtime, and explained how sizzling it was in our home. He said some people would be glad about the heat, although I didn’t love his sarcasm. I told him that if he didn’t want to service the furnace, I could find someone else who would. He could not show until day, so I curled up on the floor in the basement living room, where it was always cool. The next day, i was up at 6 AM, waiting for the Heating plus Air Conditioning company, who didn’t arrive until almost 11 AM, and I was not glad.
