Brrrrr....

Woke up this morning to find it decidedly chilly in my little apartment. So the first thing I did after getting my fuzzy bathrobe and slippers on to keep me from freezing was go to turn up the heat in the bedroom. And curiously, it was already set to 3 (my heat is via baseboard heaters, which have four heat levels), but was still cold. So I turned

Sounds silly but is any of this hooked to a fuse of any sort??

My place has got circuit breakers rather than fuses, and I checked them already... but they all seem to be on. That's what's so weird. It would make sense if I'd had the heat up too high on a cold night and it had flipped a breaker (circuit breaker equivalent of blowing a fuse) - but as far as I can tell, it didn't.

Oh well. At least it's not cold enough in here for me to be able to see my breath... yet!

Did you try flipping the breaker back anyway? It couldn't hurt to try...

And your apartment should really stop sympathising with my house. Going without heat for two days and no electricity was no fun for me, so you shouldn't have to go through it too! (though you have electricity...) I'm in a weird mood right now. I suggest having a very strong talk with the heaters in your apartment. Tell them that my heat is on, and tell your stove that my stove works now too. Maybe then they'll stop with the sympathy pains...

Sending you all the warm thoughts I can muster. Oh and get a nice warm fuzzy blanket out for Desdemona. The cold'll wreak havoc with her arthritis...

((((warm hugs))))

It did occur to me that there was a certain irony in this... :-) Maybe I will try talking to the heaters. Can't hurt, and I've tried everything else. I think I'm going to risk a bath, too.

Oh, and yes I did try flipping the breakers anyway. Didn't help.
