It's true, internet. Sometime on Friday night the heat in my house stopped working. I noticed this on Saturday morning when I woke up cold. The bad news: because of the timing and the part that was broken (the computer something something, I believe), the repair guy couldn't fix the heat until at least Monday! The OK news: it was "warm" this weekend, with highs in the 40s! The (hopefully) good news: when I left my house this morning, the repair man was hard at work. I hope it's warm and toasty when I get back!
Let's say this (heaven forbid) happens to you. What should you do? Luckily, I have compiled this handy guide to survival.*
1. Your space heater is your friend. People may laugh as you cart your space heater from room to room, up and down 3 flights of stairs, but they're just jealous that they don't have that kind of upper body strength.
2. Wear thick-soled slippers. You do not want your bare feet to touch the floor. Especially if you have tile.
3. Do laundry. Don't let your clothes go through the entire cool down phase, and then pile the warm stuff on. Ahhhh.
4. Blankets! It seems obvious, but a blanket cocoon is essential (and stylish).
5. Bake stuff. The oven is warm! You want to be warm! Just don't burn yourself, because it won't make you feel better.
This stuff works, yo. I have survived the lack of heat! Seriously though, it best be working when I get home. My arms hurt from all that space heater toting.
*Note for people as cold as Mom--check into a hotel. It's the only option.

Oh, Mer. Educating the public AND giving them a laugh. Bonus points.
