The Failing Furnace

I was very excited to come back to my home after my fun but tiring vacation. Back to my warm home where I belonged... Therefore, I was not very happy when I walked into my house and the temperature was no different from outside.

Before our vacation, we did everything we needed to do before we left -- including turning down the heat. We had only turned it to 17C, but it turned out that our furnace had failed us on our time away. The failing furnace had caused many other problems including things like... the water pipes froze (no water!), the toilets froze and broke (no toilets!), the laundry machines froze (no clean clothes!)and our hot water tank exploded (yay). Thankfully we got most of that fixed, we only have one bathroom left to go. Unfortunately, all this fixing had rid us of nearly ten thousand dollars.

I was glad to be back in school, away from all the chaos at home. It was nice to see my friends again, to tell them about my vacation. I am falling behind in classes, but I'm hoping to fix that this weekend... which involves me leaving this piece of technology.

I also was planning to upload pictures, but I can't do that. We lost our pictures, hopefully not permanently. My dad took most of the pictures on our trip on his new, expensive camera, but ran out of memory on his one memory card. He had to burn the pictures onto a disc to reuse the memory card, and the disc is not doing so great.

Also, I have fallen in love with the TV series Pushing Daisies. It is about a man who can put dead things to life again with a touch. It is an amazing show.

I will upload pictures if I ever get a chance.
