Unheated

So yeah, it got kind of cold around here this week. We haven't taken out our air conditioners yet—to be honest, we kind of forgot about them—so I was reluctant to turn on the heat until we could get them out of the windows this weekend. But this afternoon it was cold enough in the house that I decided to go ahead and crank up the heat anyway.

But the heat didn't come up. We went downstairs and took a look at the furnace, and it seems that the pilot has gone out. There are instructions for how to relight it, but that isn't something either of us is comfortable dealing with, so we have to wait until the landlord can get someone here to take care of it. Meanwhile, there will be extra blankets and comforters on the bed tonight.
