Excitement on the Home front ...

i thought this morning, that
someone nearby was having repair
work done on something - it sounded like metal drilling metal.
i couldn't tell exactly where the noise was coming from.

it took many hours before i could tell what that horrible shrill noise was.

turns out its my FURNACE.

have since turned the heat off.
and it's Snowing outside.
(that's to give you the clear
idea it's not balmy and warm here now that November has moved in.)
i have managed to find out how to get the furnace turned off.
the noise was deafening & horrible.
and it's Snowing, have i mentioned ?

the gas company will be coming in the next 12 hours to fix me up.
or rather, fix my furnace.

at least now that the furnace is off,
the ear piercing, mind numbing noise has stopped.
i was seriously worried i'd loose my mind.
