Oil. Shit.
Our house is heated by a really old-fashioned oil furnace. And yesterday, Dad found out that there was about 25 gallons left in the tank.
It's a 500 gallon tank.
So he called Meintzer's Oil (our oil guys) and they said they would hopefully have someone there by the night.
Well. They never came.
And because of the snow, they didn't come today.
Chris tried to take a shower earlier and found no hot water. There wasn't any heat coming from the baseboards, either.
No oil. Shit.
Dad called Meintzer's in a last attempt to get some oil here. No luck. They said there wasn't anyone at the plant and that it would have to wait until morning.
Ugh.
We have a wood stove. But it hasn't been used in 4 years, and it seriously needs to be serviced. I'm talking we can't use it without the fear of a house fire. But we have no choice. Dad's going to use it.
I vouched that we just bundle up for the night, but I don't think that idea is going to fly.
I'm going to spend tonight awake, too afraid to sleep.
Yeah, winter break is starting off fantastic...
