I Woke Up Cold

There is nothing worse than waking up feeling like you are still in a dream. That is exactly how I felt today when I woke up and it seemed that the house was freezing cold. The first thought in my mind was “Am I dead?” – but the truth was something worse was wrong.
I put my slippers on at the side of the bed, and took the flashlight with me. The sun had not risen yet, and the lights were not working, so I assumed that the power was out. Tip-toeing through the house, I noticed that the kids were all still sleeping. At least everyone was okay, even though I was cold.
The power came on ten minutes later, but there was no heat. I tried going down to the basement to start the furnace, but had no luck. Since it is winter here, I couldn’t really leave it alone, so I looked in the phonebook and called a company that offered heating furnace repair Riverside. They promised they would make it out today to take a look, and they came out in just one hour.
As it turns out, my furnace died and they are in the process of replacing it. Thankfully these electric heaters I had are doing enough to keep the house warm enough to live in, though I’ll be honest with you – I’m wearing three sweaters right now. I am hoping that they will be able to finish up today so that I don’t wake up cold in the morning. You don’t realize how much you depend on your furnace until it is broken.
