I haven't been online, or reading - or writing - LJ, or much of anything. I have a furnace that was red-tagged by Minnegasco, I am trying to figure out if I *REALLY* have to buy a new furnace, or there is some way I could get the venting problem fixed without it. The furnace itself it okay, it's venting flue gases into the basement, so we can't run it, and the companies that have come out say buy a new furnace. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

I got "Fudoki" yesterday but haven't had time to start it. I'm too stressed to read a novel, so I must be VERY stressed. And I saw 9 more copies on a truck waiting to be paid for, so if anyone wants to get it from the Minneapolis Library, we have lots of copies. I saw a really good review, though I was planning on reading it anyway.

I signed up for NaNoWriMo. I hope I can actually go through with it. I am not good at dealing with crises.

Buy a new furnace. CO is not something you want to live with. Forced-air? Hot water? Minnegasco will probably give you an offer with financing, and there are other, cheaper places to get one.

I'm sorry to hear about your furnace.

Hey, I signed up for NaNoWriMo, too!

We have the furnace turned off, and are using space heaters.

I was hoping someone would say, "ABC company did a great job for me" or even, don't use "XYZ company, they do lousy work.". So far I am going on Angie's List and a couple of suggestions by friends.

I will get a 3rd estimate this afternoon, and decide this evening, I hope. But it's taking up time I have better uses for, and Martin has a bad cold, partly because of the (lack of) heat.

And I will find out in the next 2 weeks if I still have a job.

Stress??!!
