As some of you know, my sister, Michele, is living in our house while we're in Cleveland. We received a call from her about 11PM last evening letting us know the furnace was not working. Of course, this happens when we are out of town and the temp is supposed to dip below the freezing point!!! So, I spend a less than restful night thinking I'm going to have to buy a new furnace (something I really didn't want to do right now) and Michele and the cats spend the night with no heat. She calls our furnace guy this A.M., and he's there by early afternoon. It turns out the furnace was overheating, due to diminished air flow, and it shut itself down. The dimished airflow was caused by cat litter dust (thanks Rachel & Trixie) accumulating over time in the line that runs from the A/C unit outside into the furnace. Needless to say, the litter boxes have now been moved to the other side of the basement....far from the furnace.
It must have been the day for malfunctions, as John was in the Tomography machine receiving his radiation, when it stopped working....so he's 49 seconds short on this treatment. I don't know whether they now give him a 49 second treatment or add it to a future treatment...I guess we wait and see.
After all this, the day did conclude with a really nice potluck dinner at the Lodge......something we do every Wednesday. On the menu tonight: Mac & cheese; baked pineapple; sweet potatoes; corn casserole; home-canned peaches; home-made yeast rolls; green bean; roast w/veggies. Quite a menu, isn't it? We had so many leftovers, we've decided to repeat potluck dinner tomorrow night!!!
So, now it's off to bed, as tomorrow is our long day at the hospital with John receiving both radiation & chemo.....and our C-fight continues.
