Paul and I don't have gas heat, so we use space heaters. We have a safe one that alarms you if it gets to hot or if a pillow is dropped up against it in the middle of the night. I usually leave it on in the morning when I take a shower so it will be toasty when I get dressed.

So I'm taking a shower this morning and I hear Dozer kind of crying, but I don't think anything of it. 30 seconds later, the smoke alarm starts blaring. So I jump out of the shower and start running towards the bedroom because I'm just sure that the space heater has set everything on fire. Naturally, I fall in the bathroom because I'm soaking wet and soapy running on tile. I get up and run to the bedroom and open the door. I was expecting everything I own to be dissolving in huge flames. I'm thinking, what the hell am I going to do? I'm naked and its 16 degrees outside! My heart is pounding out of my chest. I open the door and theres nothing. Not even a small fire. Why the hell is the smoke alarm going off? So I get a piece of mail and fan the smoke alarm until it goes off. I get back in the still running shower. Weird.
